Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater & the Guggenheim museum in New York
Frank Gehry - Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
Frank Gehry is a standout architect. He regularly extends the metaphorical middle finger to traditional design,
producing some of the most innovative and quirky buildings of the modern era.
His work is completely distinctive, with many of them, including his home, having become tourist attractions due to
their unique aesthetic.

While most of Gehrys work is iconic one of his most noticeable buildings is the titanium-covered Guggenheim
Museum in Bilbao. Yes, the Guggenheims dont mess about when designing their museums.

Tom Wright - Burj Al Arab

Tom Wright is one of the younger architects appearing on this page but his work on one of the most iconic buildings
of all time, a relatively new one at that, has put him here with distinction.
British-born, Wright is responsible for the design of the worlds most recognizable hotel, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai,
which is recognised as one of the tallest and most recognisable buildings in the world .

Wrights brief was to create an icon for Dubai, one that people would forever associate with the Gulf Emirate, like
the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Opera House in Sydney. Wright met his brief with some aplomb. Built to mimic the
sail of a dhow, the building towers above the impressive Dubai skyline and has become instantly recognisable the
world over.

James Hoban - The White House, Washington

Probably the most recognizable building in the world, the White House was designed by Irish architect JamesHoban.

In the late 1770s Hoban submitted a plan for the design of the presidential mansion. He won the commission and
construction began in 1793. The mansion was completed in 1801.

The White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C, is constructed from white-painted Aquia
sandstone and has been home to every US leader since the country's second president John Adams.
Frank Owen Gehry (born on 28 February 1929) is a Jewish architect born in Canada, currently a United
States resident based in Los Angeles. He established his practice in Los Angeles, California in 1962 and
later Gehry Partners, LLP in 2001. His firm relies on the use of Digital Project a sophisticated 3D
computer modelling program originally created for use by the aerospace industry, to thoroughly
document designs and to rationalize the bidding, fabrication, and construction processes. A number of his
buildings Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles;
Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, France including his own private residence, have become worldrenowned tourist attractions. His works are cited as being among the most important works of
contemporary architecture in the 2010 World Architecture Survey, which led Vanity Fair to label him as
the most important architect of our age.

Famous women architects have recently excelled in their profession. Even during the twentieth century,
women were often refused admission to architectural schools and had difficulty finding clients. Julia
Morgan (1872-1957), the first woman accepted at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, is best known as the architect
of the magnificent Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California. Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid designed the
Contemporary Arts Center (2003) in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a rolling urban carpet. The New York Times
called it "The most important American building to be completed since the end of the cold war." Other
famous women architects are Gae Aulenti, Itsuko Hasegawa, Margaret McCurry and Denise Scott Brown.

Architect Frank Gehry (b. 1929) is an original and creative Canadian-American architect who designs
buildings as sculpture, so that the form of the building stands as a work of art on its own merits. The
Guggenheim Museum in Bilboa Spain (1997) is called the greatest building of our time. In it Gehry used a
set of rolling titanium shapes that convey meaning and significance to the viewer. Among his architectural
masterpieces is Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, pictured above. Gehry's personal residence in
Santa Monica, with its eclectic collage of plywood, corrugated metal, chain link fence and asphalt, is an
example of the Deconstructivism style of architecture.

The Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei (b.1917) is one of the best-known
architects. He is particularly identified with his use of the glass pyramid. His
work includes the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong and the Miho Museum
in Kyoto. The most controversial of his works is at the Louvre Museum in
Paris, where he designed the 71-foot glass pyramid as the new underground
entrance to the museum. (Pictured above) Sitting in the center of the plaza,
Pei's pyramid contrasts provocatively with the massive historical stone
buildings of the Louvre. Among the many awards he received is the Pritzker
Prize.

Architect Renzo Piano & Others
Italian architect Renzo Piano (b.1937) and British architects Richard Rogers
and Su Rogers desiged the the Centre Pompidou (1977) in Paris. A daring
example of High-Tech architectural design, the museum and library building
uses the brightly-colored tubes for wiring and plumbing as part of its
decoration. It looks as if Piano and Rogers build the structure inside out.
Renzo Piano also designed NEMO, The New Metropolis (1997), a science
center in Amsterdam that resembles a supertanker in oxidized copper. In
2007 Rogers won the prestigious Pritzker Prize, which is called the Nobel
Prize of architecture.

Famous Modern Architect Philip Johnson

Glass House, Connecticut

Architect Philip Johnson
American architect Philip Johnson (1906-2005) is the architect who embraced
all the twentieth century movements, one after the other. In his Modernist
period he is most famous for the minimalist Glass House (1949) in New
Canaan, Connecticut. He collaborated with Mies Van Der Rohe on the
Seagram Building (1956). Many of his works became instant icons, such as
PPG Place in Pittsburgh and the landmark Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove,
California. The AT&T Building, with its neo-Georgian, Chippendale style
pediment, is a famous work of Johnson's Post-Modern period. Philip Johnson
was awarded the first Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1979.
