Top 10 Most Innovative Architects of the 21st Century

Since 2000, a new generation of architectural visionaries has rewritten the rules of what buildings can be — bending steel into impossible curves, growing cities from digital algorithms, and dissolving the boundary between structure and landscape. These ten architects have defined the aesthetic and ethical ambitions of contemporary design: designing institutions that heal divided communities, stadiums that channel the energy of a city, and museums that ask visitors to see the world differently. Ranked by creative originality, built legacy, and their influence on 21st-century architecture worldwide.
