Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright began his architectural career in Chicago in the late 19th century, eventually developing his influential "Prairie School" style, characterized by low horizontal lines, open interior floor plans, and buildings deliberately designed to harmonize with their natural surroundings. Wright designed Fallingwater in rural Pennsylvania in 1935, a private residence dramatically cantilevered directly over a waterfall, which became one of the most celebrated works of American architecture and remains widely cited as an early landmark of organic architecture principles. Wright's design for New York's Guggenheim Museum, completed just months before his death in 1959, featured a strikingly unconventional spiral ramp gallery layout, and the building itself remains one of the most architecturally significant museum buildings in the United States. Frank Lloyd Wright's combination of his pioneering Prairie School style and his design of globally celebrated buildings like Fallingwater and the Guggenheim has made him one of the most influential architects in American history.

I.M. Pei
I.M. Pei was born in Guangzhou, China in 1917 and emigrated to the United States in 1935 to study architecture, eventually becoming one of the most celebrated modernist architects of the 20th century, known for combining geometric precision with monumental scale. Pei's most globally famous work, the glass pyramid entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris, completed in 1989, was initially highly controversial among French critics and the public for its stark modern design juxtaposed against the historic palace, before eventually becoming one of the most iconic architectural landmarks in the world. Pei received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, and his broader portfolio includes the National Gallery of Art's East Building in Washington, D.C. and the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, reflecting a career spanning major institutional and civic architecture across multiple continents. I.M. Pei's combination of his initially controversial but ultimately beloved Louvre Pyramid design and his decades-long career spanning major institutional architecture worldwide has made him one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
