TOP 5 MODERN ARCHITECTS
Architecture is all about the idea and these top 5 architects not only set out on risky journeys but they also returned with gems of beauty and unbelievable ingenuity.
Though there is no way for us to judge who are the top and who are not, what we can do is start small. Admire the ones who have made the difference and then continue adding to that list. Because architecture is one of humanity’s most visible and long-lasting forms of expression, spanning the entire length of humanity. Hence, with our list we have chosen to celebrate the top 5 architects in modern architecture and their craft!
