A question for non architects . . . .
Have you ever noticed or hear off a famous Architect? If so who?
I was wondering if any non architect picks up on these so called super architects and knows their names or any of their projects.
Any architect will do, one that is dead, one that is alive etc.

I think you could be described as knowing a lot more than the average non architect. However, reply if you wish. You have, afterall, seen sense and escaped. :Dmr_e wrote:I take it I get ruled out of replying to this? I wouldn't exactly be an unbiased sample.

Louis Kahn - I have a picture of the Salk Institute as my desktop, having seen "My Architect" and to me the buildings we saw in the film were timeless, serene, and monumentally impressive. I really love the courtyard where the water runs to meet the sky at the Salk Institute. It feels really spiritual and elemental and ancient.
Oook. Whooop.

Interesting if you like that building and also spaces with a similar sort of feel you should try and look at Tadao Ando's work. I think you will like the ecclesicastical buildings he has designed.

I don't know if he is an architect or not, but the influence Gaudi has had on Barcelona is stunning. I felt awe-inspired when I was gazing at his cathedral over Easter. I also kept on noticing little pieces of architecture on random buildings that made them extremely unique. The guy is a genius for me!
Gaudi...oh hell yeah! I don't think anyone really dislikes his buildings that I've met. All round funky stuff.
Ceci n'est pas une signature.
