pretty sure i will be at least 55 years old before i actually like any work I do..........my parents were christian missionaries - i inherited only two traits apparently - disgust for power and disdain for money in the form of a vow of poverty (i use this very loosely here - i am an architect and therefore hardly poor).......but no beliwf in God......for this reason I will always enjoy Louis Kahn's pursuit for what a material can be and any architect who puts material and lights behavior in creation of space over everything else... ...yes to Plecnik, Ando, Holl.
