Architect birthdays

I find it fascinating that both Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tim Berners-Lee were born on this day of the year. The former was born in 1867, the latter in 1955.

Both are our most famous architects in two very different domains: The former is the most famous of all architects in the traditional sense. The latter is the most famous of all architects of the World Wide Web.

Right now we think of those two domains as disparate. But that distinction might one day come to seem less significant, depending on how things go.

I wonder whether there will come a time when we will just think of both as famous architects.
