Richard Meier
JUBILEE CHURCH, ROME

Richard Meier is a master Architect with his own legacy. His expertise is evident in one of his recent creations which I find truly astounding, The Jubilee Church, Rome. This is a structure of significant proportions and the architect has definitely given justice to its form. There is a balance achieved with the use of concrete shells and the fact that this is a church only adds to the purity of its purpose. Learn more about the architect and his works on its official website:

Rem Koolhaas

SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY, SEATTLE, USA

This famous Dutch Architect has many modern marvels to his name. His design for the Seattle public library is a sheer Genius composition of abstract forms put together. When I was looking at the structure from exterior was totally confused as to how can such an abstract form work for the purpose of a library which has more of a strict and a traditional function. But as I entered all my conceptions of this place were proven wrong. There was so much light and openness around every space that it was inviting thru and thru. The interior spaces too flowed well with the exterior abstract form. There I was trying to learn how an Architect can provide interest to every space and define its purpose. And yes definitely God is in the details. Learn more about the Architect and his works here
