Designer Research

Personally I think it is absolutely absurd to be researching and studying designers and architects. I looked at examples of many famous architects to include Frank Lloyd Wright, Albert Kahn, Le Corbusier, etc... and to be perfectly honest while their designs were incredible, they were not that far removed from a talented contemporary non-famous architect or designers' work. I think revolutionary design is everywhere, we just don't look for it outside of certain venues that we restrict ourselves to. Critique of design is so subjective anyone can find wonder or disgrace in just about whatever they choose. Maybe this occurs to only me, but it also seems there are quite a few individuals involved in the design of a building, to attribute all credit to just one person is simply asinine. With all this being said, to study a building for it's features or merits seems highly appropriate, but it seems our minds are already made up before we even consider the piece simply for knowing the designers name.
