The world’s most recognizable landmarks would not exist if not for the minds of brilliant Architects who were able to think outside the box and come up with innovative designs that didn’t resemble anything that came before. These visionaries are often referred to as ‘starchitects.’ Their work is recognized all over the world, even if it is often controversial--think of the Walkie Talkie building in London or Blue Condominium in New York. But the greatest achievement of these famous architects is that their work brings attention to often neglected or underdeveloped urban areas in need of an economic boost.
