Architects who changed the world

As urban living became denser and more complicated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a series of architects began to design and plan for the large cities that they foresaw becoming more popular. Throughout the 20th century, artists have taken to crafting public buildings, bridges, towers, and private homes bringing together necessity and function with an artistic touch to everyday life.
