Other, quite good architects

Other, quite good architects

Taste is a peculiar thing.
There's a number of architects that shall go unmentioned here.
The Bauhaus bunch, altogether — a minority of their work I do like, the majority I don't.
Claude Nicholas Jeanneret... A clear case of unjustified self-glorification (the amount of it).
I.M. Pei, the Louvre wrecker.
Richard Meier. A simplistic trend follower, obvious to "miss".
That's just to name a few.

But this leaves quite some still, some of whom one would not readily know of.
A simple list in no particular order follows here. See if you can find the common denominator.
Oh, a jump list, then:

Norman Foster,
Frank Gehry,
Friedensreich Hunderwasser,
Richard Rogers,
Hans Hollein,
Hugh Stubbins (Who!?),
Tadao Ando.
Some other pictures, showing why we like bigger cities.

Norman Foster.

The Cambridge Law faculty

This architect put on hold for the Good Architect list, due to his work on the (English!) National Gallery.
