Trivia: Who is the first known architect in history?
Frank Lloyd Wright
Zaha Hadid
Imhotep
Pericles
Correct Answer: Imhotep
So why is this answer correct? : Imhotep designed Egypt’s Pyramid of Djoser way back in 2630 BCE. He also gets credit for using columns before anyone else, and starting a lasting trend of using stone for buildings (though he wasn’t actually the first to do so). His architecture served as the base for many other styles.
