Many of the world's greatest architects were born in June

By Jackie Craven, About.com

You may know that America's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was born on June 8, 1867. But, did you know that many of the world's most important builders and designers also have June birthdays?

The list is illustrious, with great names like high-tech designer Sir Norman Foster, Spanish surrealist Antoni Gaudí, and the ingenious bridge designer, John Roebling. If you believe in astrology, you might even suspect that something in the stars endows June-born infants with special creative powers. But, even if you think the shared birthdays are just coincidence, you'll enjoy pursing the list of June-born giants.

Our newly updated calendar of June birthdays offers lots to celebrate, with links to facts and photos for a dozen famous architects. Are you ready to party?
