Wow, I totally love this thread! Except for oldenvirginia's post - that's mean, olden, and unnecessary. "Really, chuck?" AP, either you're making a dirty joke, or I interpreted it as one. In either case, I laughed. oshit, your made me laugh out loud too! Is it coincidence that so many of them are in black and white, or is it because we want to control the world?

lb - i think it taps into the "timeless" that we're all striving to be... but it's interesting to think about how many of these are posed... the vanity shows through in some the classic hand on face (sobek.chipperfield) is what i showed my dad when i was shooting his portrait. he really liked it, and it turned out well. that siza wasn't re-sized properly

Rolf Backmann
hejduk piano abra, faia
Predock He also draws without a helmet.

borromini
Neri Oxman Lots of other good portraits here:link
photographer monica nouwen's terrificly wry portraits of emerging architects: tough guys: ball-nogues and hernan tres 70s film star: tom wiscombe
I swear I'd be best buddies with Ball-Nogues, why do they have to be so far?
Neri Oxman is a babe!
The Poster Boy of Architecture
Hundertwasser
rem got lazy with detail
not an architect, but some architects believe in him
Stencil looks cool, philarct, but needs, as you say, more detail. More depth in the eyes. And a few brow furrows. Still cool, though. mleitner I love that Hundertwasser pic! snook: thank you for that.
David Greene, Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Michael Webb, Ron Herron and Dennis Crompton
sorry there Dennis. no hard feelings?
not an architect but a mentor to many Don Wall Soleri
