7. Renzo Piano
Conceived in Genoa, Italy in 1937, Renzo Piano was destined to be an architect or, at least, a contractor. His father, four uncles, and a relative were all entrepreneurs, so it looks natural that Piano would go into another nearby field of construction. After measuring from Politecnico DI Milano School of Design, Piano worked in the offices of Louis Khan in Philadelphia. Some of his most notable building are the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, The New York Times architecture in New York City, and the Shard London Bridge.

Among his many projects, he has created the Seattle Central Library, the Netherlands Embassy in Berlin, and the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing.
4. Zaha Hadid
A student of Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid is seen as the solid force in the world of most famous architecture. She has fought through her career with both cutomers and partners because of her drive, determination, and her being women in a male-dominated field. But Notwithstanding these setbacks, she has become the most well-known woman architect in the world. In 2004, Zaha Hadid was the first female to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize award. Hadid’s big break came from an unexpected place when she was hired to design Cincinnati’s Rosenthal City for Contemporary Art. The New York Times reports the building as “the most significant new building in America during the Cold War.”

Wright is arguably the most famous architect in the U.S. In his lifetime; he designed 141 works including houses, offices, churches, schools, libraries, and museums, and he received awards from. Wright also served to create the open floor plan designing rooms that flow and grow into any other. His appreciation of quality is apparent in his work, and it’s arguable that no other artist took greater advantage of context and environment than Wright.
1. Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen was displayed in Finland in 1910 to an already established architect father, Eliel Saarinen. The people moved to the U.S. in 1929. Saarinen studied at Yale, and in 1936, he began working at his father’s design practice and also educated at Cranbrook, where his father had been president as it was established in 1932. At Cranbrook, he joined Charles Eames, and the two helped on new furniture forms. Unlike Eames, Saarinen chose to focus mostly on architecture more so than furniture, designing the iconic Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA limit at JFK Airport, and Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. He was posthumously given the AIA Gold Medal in 1962.
