Asymptote

I do not object to including the names of the founders of Asymptote as listed in the appropriate article in the list, but I don't think an agency needs to be listed here. I would think that most agencies with that kind of clout already have fairly notable people working for them, so the founder names may be just as recognizable as, or moreso than, a company name. -- Omicronpersei8 02:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

help with fixing the list

if anybody wants to try and fix this list with me leave a message on my talk page.RYNORT 21:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is still missing an introduction. I've added one, based loosely on similar lists. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the list seems to include architecture practices too. Sionk (talk) 14:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why not a category?

Why is this a list instead of just using a category? RJFJR (talk) 16:53, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing

I noticed that this list was extremely thin on American women architects. I have added in all but the red-linked names from the United States section of List of women architects. This page does not say it is for male architects only, and it did list a few women before I added to it, so I can think of no good reason why these women should not be on this page.71.108.32.244 (talk)
