I am sure any architect would take the job to build some sculpture, I know I would!

I don't really think architects make good sculpture. At least, I can't think of an example of a work that is an amazing SCULPTURE. There are lots of "sculptural environments" that were designed by architects. Here's one:

cranbrook entry

But again, I think sculptors make better sculptural environments, for the most part, than we do.

Serra: torqued ellipses

and Tim Hawkinson: uberorgan

Architects tend to be too, well, anal about order and structure to make anything truly body-oriented.

On the other hand, Mark West is pretty sculptural, but again, within the vocabulary of architecture, not pure form: concrete formwork

tony smith- architect trained by flw turned influential sculptor. he translated 'architectural order' into compelling sculptures.
