Charles Grebmeier meets my preferences of using colors accordingly. I really love his choice of using warmer colors with other warmer colors. The colors compliment each other unlike throwing green, pink, red and brown all in one room. Most of his rooms are decent as far as not being too cluttered, but some are not.
Ron Dayan is also an designer that have captured my attention to his way of designing different living spaces within a home and buildings. His choice of colors are also complimentary of each other. And his way of designing is less cluttered as to the spaces by Charles Gebmeier. 
Frank Lloyd Wright is another one of my favorite architects/designers. A few of my favorite pieces that he has done is of the Falling Water, Guggenheim Museum, and Taliesin West. The Falling Water is located in Ohiopyle, (Bear Run), Pennsylvania, the Guggenheim Museum is located in New York,New York, and Taliesin West is located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Falling Water was the first piece of Wrights works that captured my eye. He has really took the surrounding environment into consideration when designing this home. The house really compliment the environment in a sense it stands out and then on the other hand it is camouflage. However, the Guggenheim Museum is a beautiful building also but it doesn't quit fit into the environment. It sits between two platonically formed building filled with windows, whereas the Museum is a building with rounding sides it really stands out from the other buildings one is not sure if that was intentional. Taliesin West building is a winter home for the Wright and his students. This building is marvelous it is very interesting how the building is depicted as a rock that was carved right where it stands and was turned into the use of a building. But that is not so this build was designed by Wright and constructed by his students.
Alvar Aalto is another outstanding architect he designs consist of a lot of curves or waves making the style look free floating. It has been said many times that it is very difficult to express curves in the architectural field but in his designs he as done a great job. Some of his works that express curves are the opera house, the Mount Angel Abbey Library. He also has done uniform work the meaning there isn't much variation in the details. His work that express uniformness would be Paimio Tuberculosis Sanatorium. Throughout the pattern it show straight clean cut lines on what appear to be the balconies of the building. To view more information about Aalto simply click his name at the upper left of this paragraph.

Sir Norman Foster is an unique architect. His work represent him well because it is unique as well. Some of his designs don't go well in the locations that they were designed for, they are very noticeable, they stand out very vividly.
Frank Gehry work is also very unique in its form. Throughout his designs he uses one of the same material which stainless steal. One of his building which was the Walt Disney Concert Hall caused controversy in Los Angeles. His creations with the stainless steal are outstanding but the reflection of the sunlight can be dangerous to passing drivers, if the building can be seen from the highway. This may have been the nature of the controversy his Walt Disney Concert hall may have caused. The Build also probably had a high electricity bill because of the heat the building may have held from the steal. To learn more information about Gehry click here.
