This department documents architects, builders, designers, sculptors, decorators, manufacturers and companies that have contributed to the building(s) of Brighton and Hove—in fact, anyone who has contributed to the built environent of the city. It is by no means comprehensive but is certainly representative, albeit with an emphasis on heritage work.
      Not included are the 'near misses': architects considered for projects in the city but whose work was never executed. Among them are Le Corbusier, Frank Gehry, Erich Mendelsohn, Cecil Massey and Alistair G Macdonald. The glories of the 19th century were rarely repeated in the 20th.

NOMENCLATURE
The terms 'architect', 'surveyor' and 'builder' were somewhat interchangeable, especially in the days when the same person surveyed the land for a development and then built the properties, perhaps also using a standard design from a book or copied from other work. Architects like Robert Adam and John Soane had campaigned as early as 1791 to have the profession of architect protected. The Society of Architects had introduced bills in parliament from 1844 to introduce registration but it was not until 1932 that the term 'registered architect' became a statutory term under the Architects (Registration) Act 1931. Until then anyone could call themselves an architect. Another Act in 1938 defined architecture as a profession with formal registration rather than as a form of artist expression.
