ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This volume contains papers presented at the symposium "Postmodernism and Beyond: Architecture as the Critical Art of Contemporary Culture," held at the Beckman Center of the National Academy of Sciences and Engineering adjacent to the University of California, Irvine, on October 26—28, 1989. In addition to the sponsorship of the University of California, Irvine (particularly of Terence Parsons, Paul Sypherd, John Miltner, and Kathy Jones), we gratefully acknowledge the support of the Humanities Research Institute of the University of California and its directors, Murray Krieger and Mark Rose; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Orange County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects; the Architecture Foundation of Orange County; Stanford University; Bernards Brothers Construction; the IBI Group; and Griffin/Related Properties. Roy Dormaier, his staff in the Office of Financial Planning, and various staff members in the Office of Physical Planning at UCI provided invaluable support through all stages of the project. William Lillyman would also like to thank the Rockefeller Foundation for awarding him a residency at its Bellagio Study and Conference Center. It was there, in the center's untrammeled ambience, that the initial formulation of the symposium arose, a formulation that was to be much improved and made into a program through the involvement and insights of Marilyn Moriarty and David J. Neuman. Irvine, Calif. Roanoke, Va. Stanford, Calif. March 1993 '
