Do you know who he is, since you were rolling your eyes?

He was un-obscure enough for me to have learned about him in High School Art History.

Good for you, but ask your architectural historian. Not you high school text book.

Don't you have to do obscure works to be obscure? I don't think the UN building counts as obscure.

Furthermore--I think he's one of maybe two or three architects I can name off the top of my head.
