Arkitek Pilihan SAW.....

Arkitek pilihan saya ialah Benshetrit Dror. Beliau dilahirkan di Israel dan beliau adalah pelajar dari 'The Design Acedemy Eindhoven'.

Dror adalah menceburi bidang seni sebelum beliau menceburi bidang arkitek. Dror menceburi bidang arkitek apabila beliau ada satu pemikiran untuk membuat gabungan antara seni dengan sesuatu yang berguna.

Dror adalah ketua kepada New York's Studio Dror, syarikat multidisciplinary design yang pakar dalam mereka produk, architectural dan art direction.

Reka bentuk Dror menekankan pegerakan dan inovatif digunakan pada teknologi dan bentuk. Reka bentuk pada Projek Nurai Island yang bertema hak persendirian dan mewah menonjolkan gaya reka Dror.

Saya kagum kepada Dror kerana beliau adalah seorang yang kreative dalam reka bentuk. Reka bentuk beliau amat serasi dengan tapak dan suasana perskitaran tapak.

Arkitek pilihan saya izzul ialah Cesar Pelli

Cesar Pelli (born October 12, 1926 in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina) is an Argentine architect known for designing some of the world's tallest buildings and other major urban landmarks. His designs are known for their curved facades and metallic elements.

In 1991, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) listed Pelli among the ten most influential living American architects. His many awards include the 1995 AIA Gold Medal which recognizes a body of work of lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture.

Perhaps his most famous work are the Petronas Twin Towers, which were for a time the world's tallest buildings. He also designed the World Financial Center complex in downtown Manhattan, which surround the now-fallen World Trade Center.

After studying architecture at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Pelli completed his studies at the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He started his career in the New Haven offices of architect Eero Saarinen.

He emigrated to the United States in 1952 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1964. He married Diana Balmori a renowned landscape and urban designer. They had two children: Denis, a neurobiologist and Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University and Rafael, also a renowned architect.

Pelli served as dean of the School of Architecture at Yale University from 1977 to 1984. His firm employs about 100 architects, designers, and support staff in New Haven, Connecticut.

Pelli wrote a book, "Observations for Young Architects."

In 2007, Duke University commissioned him to plan a 20- to 50-year revitalization of its Central Campus.
