At the present time one of the major activities within the international astronomical community is the preliminary design of large optical/infrared telescopes. During the last few years workshops, conferences, and many discussion groups have been assembled to evaluate alternative telescope concepts. Segmented mirrors, multi-mirrors with dilute or filled apertures and arrays of smaller telescopes have been discussed and all give the increase in the collecting area required for the next generation of astronomical instrumentation.
