    To each their own. I love H&deM, but Rossi, no thanks. I also love Calatrava. To me, truly great architecture should invoke feelings, it should be powerful and move you. There's plenty of soso stuff out there, plenty of 'pretty good' architects, but they don't move me. A huge ton of good 'modern' architects of any period, but rarely anything 'great'.
    I was never a fan of Le Corbusier. I respect his work and his impact, but the work did nothing for me. Kahn was kinda the same way. I love Gray's side table, if that counts.

    I was a big fan of Schindler and loved touring his buildings. Even periods of Wright, but I like form (get it? ;-) ), but overall I like things that push boundaries, defy gravity and make you think.

    • I caught. Me too. But a high percentage of that "architecture", is drawn. Only drawings.Miesfan
    • Like Lissitzky, Tatlin, San't Elia... and I still think the thickness of the material,Miesfan
    • tectonics and love for the constructive detail make a building can become architecture. With small A.;-))Miesfan
