Architects and Designers

Artists whose primary work is the design of buildings or, closely allied to it, of furniture and interior design in the modernist design tradition. Belongs here: a practicing architect (Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe) and a designer whose defining work is architectural interior or furniture design (Lilly Reich). Does not belong here: a patron who commissioned buildings without designing them, who belongs in History under the Medici precedent for patrons.
