Juhani Pallasmaa, Professor of Architecture at Helsinki University of Technology, has been engaged in architectural practice, graphic design and town planning since 1963. Over the past two decades, he has been appointed Associated Professor at the Haile Selassie I University in Addis Ababa (1972-74); Director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture (1978-83); State Artist Professor (1983-88); and a visiting professor at Yale University (1993). He is an Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and a member of the CICA International Committee of Architectural Critics. He has designed exhibitions on Finnish architecture, planning and the visual arts; contributed to articles and lectures on cultural philosophy; and edited several books and catalogues. He is author of The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses, (1996), a title in Academy's Polemics series. Andrei Gozak worked in architectural practice before concentrating on writing and teaching. His book Alvar Aalto, published in Moscow in 1976, was a pioneering introduction for the Soviet architectural readership. It was followed in 1978 by a larger volume of texts and projects entitled Alvar Aalto: Arkhitektura i gumanizm (Alvar Aalto: Architecture and Humanism), as a result of which he was awarded the Medal of the Museum of Finnish Architecture. Until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 he was chief designer of the professional journal Arkhitektura SSSR, as well as a regular contributor, and has also written widely for architecture journals in the West. In 1988 Academy Editions published his monograph on another Soviet pioneer of the 1920s, Ivan Leonidov: The Complete Works which he co-authored with Andrei Leonidov. He has been acquainted with the Melnikov family for many years.
