It is a great pleasure to see in print
this paper by Knight and Stiny (arq
5/4, pp 355–372), who have been
collaborating for many years, Stiny
predominantly as a theoretician,
and Knight as a design teacher.
Despite their close association, they
have rarely published together, and
it was something of a landmark
when they gave a joint keynote
speech, received with great
warmth, to the conference in
Greenwich in January 2000. The
field in which they engage has
grown rapidly, and few can be
better placed to review its
achievements, and establish a basic
taxonomy to classify existing work,
and map areas for further research.
