The Ballad of Architects

(Verse 1) In the rolling fields, where prairies stretch wide, Frank Lloyd Wright's vision, with Prairie Style pride. Fallingwater's grace, Robie House's embrace, In organic harmony, nature finds its place. (Chorus) Le Corbusier strides, with the International Style, Villa Savoye stands, Unité d'Habitation's smile. Antoni Gaudí's Catalonia, with Modernism's hand, Sagrada Família's glory, Casa Batlló's grand. (Verse 2) Zaha Hadid's Deconstructivism, a bold new wave, Heydar Aliyev Center, Guangzhou Opera House pave. Mies van der Rohe's Modernism, sleek lines define, Seagram's glass gleams, Farnsworth stands divine. (Chorus) Louis Kahn's Brutalism, monuments in stone, Salk Institute's wisdom, Kimbell's art so known. Renzo Piano's High-Tech, Centre Pompidou's art, The Shard's lofty heights, leaving all in its heart. (Bridge) Alvar Aalto's Organic, Finlandia Hall's call, Villa Mairea's beauty, nature's voice in all. Ieoh Ming Pei's Modernism, Louvre's pyramid bold, Bank of China Tower, a story to be told. (Verse 3) Philip Johnson's Postmodernist play, a dance in form, AT&T's grandeur, Glass House's norm. Rem Koolhaas Deconstructs, Seattle Central's delight, CCTV Headquarters, a beacon in the night. (Chorus) Norman Foster's High-Tech, soaring to the sky, The Gherkin's allure, Millau Viaduct high. Walter Gropius's Bauhaus, a school of thought, Fagus Factory's legacy, innovation sought. (Outro) Oscar Niemeyer's Brazilian soul, a nation's pride, National Congress stands, Brasília's guide. Buckminster Fuller's dome, a structure unique, Montreal's Biosphere, Epcot's mystique.
