Today’s mission for Gravestmor has been to update The Wikipedia with up to date information on all bowtie wearing architects. For those unfamiliar with The Wikipedia, it is a free online encyclopedia. Running under much the same ethos as the Linux operating system it is free to use, free to write for and free to edit. Although it does not have the shine of Mr Britannica I must admit I am a little surprised at the amount of information that has been gathered so far. The breadth of information available coupled with the fact that it costs US $59.95 less than the Britannica, amounting to a reduction of approximately infinity% makes the Wikipedia hard to ignore.

Of course it cannot cover absolutely everything that is out there in the big scary world and this is where Gravestmor steps in. After resisting the initial temptation to run amok on the site, posting craziness at every corner, it became clear that the whole story was not being told. A quick search for bowties turned up no references to architecture nor architects. You can rest easy however as this has since been amended.

With the base information suitably amended the list of architectswas scoured to make sure that main culprits got their due. Bowtie amendments have been made to Peter Eisenman, Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier and of course Harry Seidler. Any suggestions of architects that should rate a bowtie mention are welcome in the comments section below. Or. If you are game, Gravestmor recommends, you dear readers, get out there and make amendments to the Wikipedia yourselves.

Together we can set the record straight.
