ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
_My_ Modern Architecture: Romanticism and Reintegration _appeared in
1929. It was an early attempt to relate the newest architecture of the
nineteen-twenties to that of the preceding century and a half. In the
thirty years that followed I have studied, in varying degrees of detail,
many aspects of the story of architecture in the last two hundred years,
from the ‘Romantic’ gardens of the mid eighteenth century to
Latin-American building of the mid twentieth. In the process debts of
gratitude have accumulated that can never be discharged, least of all
here. Moreover, immediately before writing this book I visited a dozen
countries in the New World, and during its composition in London—made
possible by a sabbatical leave from Smith College for the academic year
1955-6—I visited another dozen in the Old World. It would be manifestly
impossible even to list all those—first of all in England and America,
but also all the way from Athens to Bogotá—who assisted me in various
ways in the gathering of material. They will, I trust, understand and
accept this generalized expression of my thanks._
