I have to write a paragraph about this topic and am wondering if any of you have any favorites. Thanks.
Currently practicing architects with Web sites would be best. Thanks.

I used to be all about Richard Meier:
http://www.richardmeier.com/As a young fresh mind in Architecture school in 1996 Meier made a huge impression on me.
I guess now, Tadao Ando sticks out to me. Something about the concrete and minimalism and use of light seems really timeless to me.
http://www.andotadao.org/On the more futuristic side of things, people like Rem Koolhas and OMA do projects that always surprise you, break boundries and such. My favorite architecture has always been stuff that inspired me to do more art and graphic work with similiar elements.
Zaha Hadid - pretty amazing stuff as well:

BTW - I gave up on architecture school after 2 1/2 years because it was making me insane. I just may be the only person on earth with a minor in Architecture. LOL
