I feel bad that I, at tops, have heard of only maybe 3 of these people. :(

Gaudi! Gaudi Gaudi Gaudi!

Also, Moshe Safdie for Habitat 67, and William Leonard Pereira for the Giesel Library at UC-San Diego. Douglas Cardinal, and I've been in two of his buildings, which I can't say for any of the other three :(

Basically, I like my buildings weird!

Not knowing the purpose of the poll, I feel that I can't answer it. I know very few of the people listed, and I don't want to skew the results towards better-known architects when it's asking about "architects I like" rather than "architects I've heard of".

Same here. But I'm curious now.

Eero Saarinen designed Dulles International Airport.

It looks like it could fly.

HOW COULD I FORGET SAARINEN?

He's done some gorgeous work some of which has been important in my life. I get a thrill taking the shuttle to Dulles every single time. The first time I saw it was when we moved to London when I was six.

People went to a lot of trouble to try to make everyone forget Saarinen. He didn't build glass boxes and the other architects voted him off the island.

*sigh* Too true.
