When an architectural structure receives widespread commendation
and fame, people celebrate the masterful architect or architects behind
the marvel. Some architects do a good job, a select few get featured
in books, magazines, and receive awards for their craft. Here are some
of the best modern architects and their works.

Álvaro Joaquim de Melo Siza Vieira has received several awards and
citations throughout his career including the 1992 Pritzker Prize for his
renovation work in the Chiado area of Lisbon. One of his best works is
The Building on the Water in China, an 11,000 sqm office complex that
floats on an artificial lake.
Antoine Predock is an American architect based in Albuquerque and is
the principal of Antoine Predock Architect PC. His most famous work
today is The Canadian Museum for Human Rights. His design was
chosen based on a competition where he beat nearly 100 designers
from over 21 countries. The construction of the building cost $297 and
is now a bedrock for human rights advocates.

Hi there! My name is JohnEilermann, and I’m an architecture student
living in St. Louis, Missouri. The ability of architecture to make the
utilitarian and aesthetic ends meet amazes me. In my study of these
buildings and establishments, I learned to be patient and to have a
good eye for details. For more insightful reads on architecture, visit
