Thanks to our fabulous editorial board: Pedro Ignacio Alonso, James Graham, and Ines Weizman. Special thanks also to Catarina de Almeida Brito, Hayley Eber, Mehrdad Hadighi, and Marina Otero.

We are grateful for the ongoing collaboration with our designers, Oficina de Disseny, our copy editor John Wreidt, and our image editor Josep X. Tulleuda Nieto.

The publication of this issue was made possible by the ongoing support of numerous institutions — the Stuckeman School, Penn State University; GSAPP, Columbia University; the School of Architecture, UT Sydney; and the Centre for Documentary Architecture, Bauhaus-University, Weimar — as well as by Mr. Robert P. O’Hara and Ms. Maureen A. O’Hara. And, of course, this issue would not have been possible had we not been fortunate enough to receive a generous organizational grant from The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.
