Top 10 Best Architects

The Top Ten
1 Frank Lloyd Wright

As per the evolution of modern & contemporary architecture we studied, FL Wright is considered the father of modern architecture by many, in current world where we adopt contemporary style for all designs, it wouldn't be possible or would have taken longer to arrive if he wouldn't have come out of the traditional styles, great work FLW!

No one can capture the beauty and form found in nature as Wright could in his designs. He proved to the world time and time again that he is the greatest architect that has ever lived.

His buildings are embedded with a richness and spirituality in both decorum and shape, completely unique, modern, practical but never cold or pretentious.

2 Herzog & De Meuron

Just look at their Memorial Museum. They know how to transcend you.
