Some Great Architects

Some great architects, even from the early years.

Adolf Loos (1870-1933)






Adolf Loos (1870-1933) ranks as one of the most vital pioneers of the fresh movement in architecture. Ironically, his control was based generally on a small amount of interior designs and a body of controversial essays. Loos's buildings were precise examples of austere beauty, ranging from conservative country cottages to planar compositions for storefronts and residences. His built compositions were not much recognized outside his native Austria throughout his early years of practice.
Here are some buildings designed by Adolf Loos:



Aldo Rossi (1931)














Aldo Rossi (born 1931), one of the most leading famous architects during 1972-1988, has accomplished the remarkable achievement of achieving international acknowledgment in three discrete areas: theory, drawing, and architecture. After receiving his architecture degree at the Polytechnic University in Milan in 1959, Aldo Rossi served as a course assistant to prominent famous architects Ludovico Quaroni and Carlo Aymonino. Aldo Rossi became a faculty member in the School of Architecture in Milan in 1965 and at the University in Venice in 1975.

Below are some works of Aldo Rossi: 



Alvaro Siza










Alvaro Siza is one of the most well-known Portuguese architects of the 20th century. Although Siza fashioned numerous projects for clients in Portugal (houses, schools, and other instututions), it became clear that he began to gain acknowledgment through exhibitions and evens in other European countries at the 1980s.
