17 Most Famous Architects of All Time (timeout.com)
I was happy to see Frank Lloyd Wright mentioned in this article, as his clean line architecture and his passion for indoor and outdoor space is very interesting. I had never read about Philip Johnson and though his Glass House was really interesting. It blurs the lines between inside and out even more than Frank Lloyd Wright. I enjoyed reading about Jeanne Gang, being one of the new famous female architects. She designed 2 of the tallest buildings in the world, both located in Chicago (The Acqua and the Vista Tower). Her use of patterns and irregular shapes is interesting. When I saw the photo of Daniel Burnham’s Flatiron Building in NYC, I recognized it immediately from a vacation I went on in New York City. It is very memorable as it is faces a major open area of New York City the tall uniquely shaped building blends into the landscape.
