Richard meier
Richard Meier is an American architect known for his rationalist and minimalist buildings that prominently feature the color white. Some of his most notable works include the Jubilee Church in Rome, which uses a self-cleaning material and features soaring sails, and the Athenaeum in New Harmony, intended as a community center. Meier's works are influenced by architects like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright, incorporating simple forms, naturally lit interiors, and circulation elements like ramps. He is considered a leading proponent of "white architecture."
