ARCHITECTS                 +                 ARCHITECTURE-LINKS
 

Architecture is the most substantial and most widely spreaded form of culture worldwide. Habitation is besides clothes and food one of the essential needs of menkind. We know the Lagerfelds and Guccis of this world, every day we read names of Pizza producers and Burger stores . There are famous actors and musicians, sports stars and even car companies. But who - except he is practitioner - knows just one name of a famous building's  architect, Chrysler-Building in New York City for example or the epochal Munich Olympic stadium? Or at least one stadium of the last FIFA world championship? Who knows the architect that reconstructed the Berlin Reichstag? Who designes the shopping malls, cathedrals or museums around the globe, in which we spend our freetime and which we regard as marvels? Do you know one famous architect at least?
arcTourLIVE helps you to keep one or two names in mind. Wether you want to boast with your knowledge amongst friends and colleagues or wether you might know the right answer in a TV-quizshow one fine day - the benefit is as useful as to know the brand of a perfume or sports shoes. 

But what would it cost, not to forget the creatives and their teams that are responsible for breathtaking and inspiring architecture? Like you do with Picasso, Renoir, Warhol or Rembrandt, you can link excellent works with distinguished architects. If you got copies (or originals) of a Kandinsky or Chagall at home, why not hanging a poster of a Zaha Hadid building, a Santiago Calatrava or Frank Gehry besides it? Here you can find some ideas - starting right on the doorstep in Cologne, you can proceed to other regions and countries.

2. PRITZKER PREIS - www.pritzkerprize.com 
The Pritzker Prize is some kind of "Nobelprize" for architecture. Since 1979 it honours once a year outstanding architects in the lifetime. In 1986 as the only German architect until now Gottfried Böhm from Cologne became laureate of this probably most significant award.
