A British Iraqi, Zaha is one of the most recognizable faces in the design world and a major figure in 21st century architecture. Her striking structures grace the skylines of major metropolitan cities, while her product designs, including furniture, jewelry, lighting, and shoes, can be found in homes around the world. The boundary-pushing designer received numerous prestigious awards over the course of her career, including the 2004 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the 2010 and 2011 Stirling Prize, the 2014 Design Museum Design of the Year Award for her Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center. She has many amazing contributions to the field, from her futuristic buildings, such as Beijing's Galaxy Soho, the London Aquatics Center, and the Guangzhou Opera House, to her dazzling superyachts. She was described as " The Queen of the curve", who " liberated architectural geometry, giving it a whole new expressive identity."

He designed more than 2,000 residences including homes for the elite of Hollywood’s golden age—Frank Sinatra, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Lon Chaney, and Lucille Ball. Williams was the first licensed African American architect west of the Mississippi (1921). In 1923, he became the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). In addition to homes, his portfolio features many schools, churches, civic buildings and commercial spaces. The list includes city landmarks such as LAX Airport, L.A. County Courthouse, and the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!!! In honor of the victory against the French in Puebla, Mexico on May 5, 1862 - we highlight the city's renowned Puebla Cathedral. The Cathedral was built with Renaissance and Baroque styles, but on the façade it is also visible some transitions to the Neoclassical style. The cathedral has two very tall towers and the facade is decorated with statues of saints and there are also reliefs of the Spanish kings. Despite the typically effusive decoration, the exterior is rather austere due to its dark grey stone made of black limestone.

What are some ways you love to celebrate Cinco De Mayo?
