Who are some famous architects?

Many people from around the world are known for their contributions to the architecture. The most famous architect is probably Frank Lloyd Wright, who worked in the 20th century, but many other names are well known and honored in the field of architecture. These famous architects are usually known for distinguishing capacity and individuality of their work, and many of them have such strong styles that their buildings are immediately recognizable. In several cases, individual architects completely turned the practice of architecture on the head, set new trends and styles. For example, Imhotep from Egypt is a well -known architect of the ancient world. Christoper Wren, a British architect, is another famous architect who worked in the previous era, and Giacoma de Vignola and Leonardod Vinci were Italian architects who worked during the Renaissance and developed a typical style associated with this period in history.

Stanford White, William MorriS, Alexander Parris, Giuseppi Jalelli, Alfred Waterhouse, Otto Wagner, Gottfried Semper and Ignatius Bonomi are some famous 19th century architects. In the 20th century, some of the well -known names Buckminster Fuller, Antonio Gaudi, Adolf Loos, Alvar Aalto, Michael Graves, I. Pei, Aldo Rossi, Carlo Scarp, Charles Eames and Fumihiko Maki. These individuals promoted design schools such as modern architecture and Bauhaus, and in addition to architectural trends they had a great influence on society and culture.

One of the interesting things about architecture as a field is that the most famous architects are not only known for their buildings. They are also known for their design of furniture, Crafts and landscape design in many cases. For example, the Eames chairs were developed by Charles Eames. The development of beautiful and distinctive furniture and works of art is a natural expansion of a career in architecture, because great architecture is usually beautiful or distinctive and its craftsmen often have a very excellent sense of aesthetics.

Unfortunately, there are very few famous architects who are women, and very few women work in the field. Remarkable female architects did not start to appear in real numbers until the 20th century and face a hill to settle and know their work. Elizabeth Diller, Maya Lin, Mary Colter and Amanda Levte are some of the more famous female names in architecture.
