Do you think maybe it’s people that respect and admire these architects, and it’s reflected on their fan pages?

Nossa, porque falas assim do Oscar? Podes não concordar com a visão política de alguém, mas desejar a morte é tão estúpido e mesquinha.
Além disso, independente de gostar ou não, deves reconhecer a contribuição arquitetônica, cultural, estilística, referencial e única deste arquiteto no Brasil e para todo o mundo.
Se falas assim, penso que falta conhecimento e cultura a ti próprio, caso não seja este o caso, recomendo um olhar mais cuidadoso sobre o caso.
yeh ;) congrat,, @
must be for something…it seems that Latin american architecture is still on the top
bunker!!!!?????

I go to sleep!
I think Niemeyer doesnt know he is the leader. The fact is that this ranking is made with no external interests. Only people with freedom decide what they like and that is great!. I am the owner of ALT arquitectura. We are a very little office but we are in the Ranking. So I encourage the other architects to beleive in their work and use facebook to show their work
BIG should not be in the list.
amouth of supporters of zaha are propably close to the population of her birth town
Meis, FLW, Kahn, Corbu, Aalto, etc. don’t have offices anymore.
Steven Holl should be up there though.
Es significativo que reconozcan a una oficina pequeña dentro de los grandes y famosos del ranking, Alt de España espero sigan creciendo y publiquen todo aquello que los mas grandex pasan por alto.
I thought it said ‘stop architecture offices facebook fan pages’.
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I in finding It truly useful & it helped me out a lot. I am hoping to present one thing again and help others like you helped me.
Not only does Niemeyer DESERVES it, but also i am pretty sure he KNOWS it. Even being over 100 years he still active: planning, writing, giving speeches and posting on twitter! This man is a role model to people, special brazilians like me, and if we LIKE IT is because we really think he deserves this recognition.. GREAT!
ps: also the others, they are great and should be LIKEd a LOT!
other than anyone else,
WHERE IS GEHRY
