What Famous Architect Would You Want To Meet?
Styleture.com asked folks that question, and surprise, surprise, Frank Lloyd Wright got more votes than anyone else. I suppose he'd be on my list also (along with Gaudi, Mies and Louis Sullivan), but I'd also want to know more about some of the architects who brought us Dallas landmarks, Nicholas Clayton (Cathedral). Lang & Witchell (Booker T. Washington High School, the original Hilton and the Sear warehouse among others). And residential designers of yesteryear like Anton Korn. And of course George Dahl, mastermind of Fair Park. Here’s Styleture’s full list. Who’s on yours?
While you ponder that, take a gander at Slate.com’s list of architectural failures. Interestingly enough, Wright makes this list also…with one of his most iconic works.
