Architects

Architects are artists, master tradesmen and project managers all at the same time. It's a good idea to hire an architect if you plan on building anything, be that you own home or a large and complex building project. A good architect helps you avoid mistakes in the planning phase, has good ideas and concepts to realize what you have in mind and will take care of all that nitty gritty stuff in connection with the construction and realization phase.

There are many very good architects, some certainly also right around the corner in your town or area. And then there area few stars, the architects that have realized famous buildings, dating right back to Leonardo Da Vinci with his Sixtine Chapel in Rome to todays great names like Santiago Calatrava who built the World Trade Center, Sir Christopher Wren (St. Paul's Cathedral, London) or Daniel Libeskind who skewes buildings with unusual angles.

The Section Master Architects in the Yahoo Directory allows you to explore the careers, works, resumes, biographies, and discussions about these international masters of architecture and provides links to architect sites and other online resources that will make you spend hours, just marvelling at these architectural master pieces.
