Together with the book `Team 10 - in search of a Utopia of the Present` this website aspires to be the first attempt to map a comprehensive history of Team 10.  Team 10 was a loosely organized band of individuals. The composition of the group varied through the years. Such things as ‘membership’ or a ‘movement’ had no formal existence and the question of who was to be invited to each meeting invariably led to discussion and sometimes heated arguments. There was arguably an ‘inner circle’ as opposed to ‘invited participants’, but it is often hard to distinguish definitely between them. For this first attempt at a history, we have chosen to concentrate especially on the core group of the seven most active and longest-involved participants in the Team 10 discourse, namely Jaap Bakema, Georges Candilis, Giancarlo De Carlo, Aldo van Eyck, Alison and Peter Smithson and Shadrach Woods. Our aim is to bring the protagonists back together again, so to speak. Other participants and their contributions are of course also represented, particularly since it is so hard to delimitate the group as such. According to the perspective taken, the historical source and the time under consideration, one may also include José Coderch, Ralph Erskine, Amancio Guedes, Rolf Gutmann, Geir Grung, Oskar Hansen, Charles Polonyi, Brian Richards, Jerzy Soltan, Oswald Mathias Ungers, John Voelcker and Stefan Wewerka; but even this list can in no way be considered complete, considering the broad context of Team 10.
