The traditionalist is a fascinating psychological type in the contemporary intenational architecture scene. It must be near-impossible to reconcile being a member of the conservative establishment in lay society with being very much an outsider in your own profession. This dilemma all to often triggers resentment of the dominant mainstream Modernists, who refuse to see traditionalists as equals Andres Duany — the architect behind Seaside in Florida who is about to design a huge New Urbanist settlement in the Scottish Highlands — is a classic example. He doesn't really try to disguise his frustration that the architectural world doesn't see things as he does.
