If you happen to be a potential architect yourself, then you probably long for the day when you can be compared to some of the world’s architectural elite.
Frank Lloyd Wright – Probably one of the most famous names in architectural history, Frank Lloyd Wright had a special way of manipulating design and bringing his visions to life. From his work on the Ennis-Brown House that was built back in 1923 to the work on the Biltmore Sprites when he paired with gifted sculptor Alfonso Iannelli, Wright’s work has definitely gone down in history. His wildly interesting drawings and breathtaking plans have been the inspiration of many architects and artists for many years now. Even his private home located in Chicago is something amazing to behold, whether you are looking to catch a glimpse of the place where his architectural career took flight or to see how his design visions changed throughout the years.
Daniel H. Burnham – A true visionary for his time, Daniel H. Burnham is actually one of the first people to work on the earliest skyscrapers. He worked out of Illinois, New York, and even Washington, D.C. on a number of groundbreaking projects to be studied by many architectural students in the world today. As you can see from any time you visit a big city, the skyscraper is one incredible structure that has lent a tremendous amount to our world of buildings and city planning well into the future.
Charles Garnier – Another incredible asset to the foundation of the world of architecture is Charles Garnier from Paris, France. His unforgettable work on many beautiful structures of the past is still the awe of many people today, whether they have a background in architecture or not. From the Casino at Monte Carlo to the absolutely stunning Paris Opera, it is easy to see why this architect is regarded as one of the most famous in the field. All one has to do is look at the amazing grand staircase and the breathtaking view of the wonderful hall at the Paris Opera House and it is easy to see that Garnier’s visions rival true genius. His work has truly been an inspiration for other architects as well as many artists.
