Influential architects - Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright is an incredibly influential architect because his work was so original, holistic, creative and varied. See some examples and learn what about his work was so unusual...
Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.
Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture.

Influential architects - Le Corbusier
See why Le Corbusier was one of the most influential architects of our time from just 50 years ago. His work challenged form and function for centuries to come.
He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities.
"You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: 'This is beautiful.' That is Architecture. Art enters in..."
"Architecture is the masterly, correct, and magnificent play of masses brought together in light."
"Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep."
"The house is a machine for living in."
"It is a question of building which is at the root of the social unrest of today: architecture or revolution."
"Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new kind of plan, both for the house and the city."
"The 'Styles' are a lie."
"Architecture or revolution. Revolution can be avoided."

Influential architects - Mies van der Rohe
Learn why the August 2010 Vanity Fair issue, with Angelina Jolie on the cover, inspired Doug to do a series on Influential architects. This video is about Mies van der Rohe.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, along with Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, are widely regarded as the pioneering masters of Modern architecture.
His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces.
He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture.
He is often associated with the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".

Influential architects - Antoni Gaudi
Antoni Gaudi made it possible for the architects of today to think beyond straight lines. See why...
Gaudà studied every detail of his creations, integrating into his architecture a series of crafts in which he was skilled: ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry. He introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadÃs, made of waste ceramic pieces.
After a few years under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudà became part of the Catalan Modernista movement which was reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work transcended mainstream Modernisme, culminating in an organic style inspired by nature.

Influential architects - Tadao Ando
See why Tadao Ando does more with less than any other architect in the world...
He works primarily in exposed cast-in-place concrete and is renowned for an exemplary craftsmanship which invokes a Japanese sense of materiality, junction and spatial narrative through the pared aesthetics of international modernism.
In 1995, Ando won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, considered the highest distinction in the field of architecture.

Architecture & Design - Skidmore, Owings and Merrill
SOM is one of the largest architectural firms in the world. Find out what kind of work they do and why it's been so influential over the years.
It was SOM that led the way to the widespread use of the modern international-style or "glass box" skyscraper. They have built several of the tallest buildings in the world, including the John Hancock Center (1969, second tallest in the world when built), Sears Tower (1973, tallest in the world for over twenty years), and Burj Khalifa (2010, current world's tallest building).

Architecture & Design - Rem Koolhaas
Rem Koolhaas is known for his intellect, writing and architecture. See why all three are apparent in the work he does.
In 2000 Rem Koolhaas won the Pritzker Prize. In 2008 Time put him in their top 100 of The World's Most Influential People.
"The areas of consensus shift unbelievably fast; the bubbles of certainty are constantly exploding. Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture."
"People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming. But the generic city, the general urban condition, is happening everywhere, and just the fact that it occurs in such enormous quantities must mean that it's habitable. Architecture can't do anything that the culture doesn't. We all complain that we are confronted by urban environments that are completely similar. We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living."
"It's very simple and it has nothing to do with identifiable goals. It is to keep thinking about what architecture can be, in whatever form. That is an answer, isn't it? I think that S,M,L,XL has one beautiful ambiguity: it used the past to build a future and is very adamant about giving notice that this is not the end. That's how it felt to me, anyway. That is in itself evidence of a kind of discomfort with achievement measured in terms of identifiable entities, and an announcement that continuity of thinking in whatever form, around whatever subject, is the real ambition."

Architecture & Design - Louis Kahn
Louis Kahn was a Philadelphia architect who's work that originates with the simplicity of basic geometric form.
Influenced by ancient ruins, Kahn's style tends to the monumental and monolithic; his heavy buildings do not hide their weight, their materials, or the way they are assembled. Louis Kahn's works are considered as monumental beyond modernism.

Architecture & Design - Renzo Piano
Renzo Piano's work is unique and timeless. Find out why.
He is the recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, AIA Gold Medal, Kyoto Prize and the Sonning Prize. One admirer said the "serenity of his best buildings can almost make you believe that we live in a civilised world"

Herzog & de Meuron is a modern day architectural firm doing groundbreaking work all over the world. Find out a little more about their monumentally unique work...
In 2001, Herzog & de Meuron were awarded the Pritzker Prize, the highest of honours in architecture. Their formal gestures have generally progressed from the purist simplicity of rectangular forms to more complex and dynamic geometries.
"They refine the traditions of modernism to elemental simplicity, while transforming materials and surfaces through the exploration of new treatments and techniques," in reference to HdM's innovative use of exterior materials and treatments, such as silkscreened glass.
