I don’t know if Meier is the best achitect in the world ( it is a imposible Is a question for me), but I can say that is an architect that I like very much. I have been fortunate to see many of its buildings in Europe. A building that I liked is the Jubilee Church in Rome. It is a building very spiritual and I remember been very exited when I was there for the first time.
Here is something about his biography:
I Meier was born in Newark, New Jersey. He earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University in 1957,
Much of Meier's work builds on the work of architects of the early to mid-20th century, especially that of Le Corbusier and, in particular, Le Corbusier's early phase. Meier has built more using Corbusier's ideas than anyone, including Le Corbusier himself.
Meier expanded many ideas evident in Le Corbusier's work, particularly the Villa Savoye and the Swiss Pavilion.
His work also reflects the influences of other designers such as Mies Van der Rohe and, in some instances, Frank Lloyd Wright.
White has been used in many architectural landmark buildings throughout history, including cathedrals and the white-washed villages of the Mediterranean region, in Spain, southern Italy and Greece.
