Donna Ferrato

Ferrato’s attention has been consumed with two major projects, domestic violence and human sexual behavior.

Álvaro Siza Vieira

Álvaro Joaquim de Melo Siza Vieira, GOSE, GCIH, (born 25 June 1933 in Matosinhos), who signs as Álvaro Siza Vieira (pron. IPA: [‘aɫvɐɾu ‘sizɐ vi’ɐiɾɐ]) and is sometimes known as Álvaro Siza, is a contemporary Portuguese architect. His poetic modernism draws on context to illuminate universal conditions. Along with Fernando Távora, he’s one of the references of the “Escola do Porto” (Porto School of Architecture), where both were teachers. Both their works are inspired by the site and try to achieve what was missing there – there is always a very strict connection between the built and the nature, the new and the old, the sensorial and the rational.

Absolut Vodka

The Absolut Vodka bottle has become something of a modern icon. Inspired by the classic Swedish medicine bottle of the 18th and 19th centuries, the bottle is a blend of traditional Swedish glass-making craft and contemporary design.

Over the years Absolut has commissioned not only over 300 painters, but leading artists in all fields; sculptors, glass designers, musicians and fashion designers, e. g. Digital Art pioneer Laurence Gartel designed a campaign for Absolut Vodka in 1990, joining world famous artists such as painter Andy Warhol and glass artist Hans Godo Frabel. These ads are considered to be the first digital art ads.

In 1998, Absolut commissioned famed digital artist and painter, Bill Barminski, to create one of the largest and most expensive billboards located on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, where it remained for over two years.

Daniel Libeskind

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was one of the world’s most prominent and influential architects.

He developed a series of highly individual styles, influenced the design of buildings all over the world, and to this day remains America’s most famous architect.

Wright was also well known in his lifetime. His colorful personal life frequently made headlines, most notably for the failure of his first two marriages and for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.

Frank Gehry

Frank Owen Gehry, CC (born Ephraim Owen Goldberg, February 28, 1929) is a Pritzker Prize winning architect based in Los Angeles, California.

His buildings, including his private residence, have become tourist attractions. Many museums, companies, and cities seek Gehry’s services as a badge of distinction, beyond the product he delivers.

His best known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, Dancing House in Prague, Czech Republic, and his private residence in Santa Monica, California, which jump-started his career, lifting it from the status of “paper architecture”, a phenomenon which many famous architects have experienced in their formative decades through experimentation almost exclusively on paper before receiving their first major commission in later years.
