Its amazing its been almost 50 years since any architect has been on the cover of time then? I would have thought someone like Frank Gehry, love him or hate him? I dont think anyone knows Yamasaki, of course, though he designed the twin towers. They dont teach about him at all in architectural history classes that i recollect. Gives you an idea of the state or lack of interest in design and architecture in this country, compared to lets say Europe or even Asia.
He designed the NYC World Trade Center towers, and the Century City Towers in Los Angeles as a west coast homage. He also designed the curved Century Plaza Hotel, which has lost its modern glow over time.
