Acknowledgements

Although this book is in many ways intended to be a departure from the traditional architectural dictionary, it is inevitably indebted to many existing works, unfortunately too numerous to mention separately. I have also accrued debts to several individuals: Alan Powers, for his generosity at the beginning of the project; Kate Goodwin and Ayla Lepine offered considered advice in the early stages; and my brother, Toby Hopkins, was excellent company on several photography trips. This book is dedicated to my parents, and to Miranda Janatka, for their love, support and encouragement.
