well, Albert Speer and Partner (which is the Junior, still living and
practising) are mostly known as urban planners: http://www.as-p.de/
(though the designed some buildings as well), but not where I'm
mapping (Italy). Albert Speer senior did some quite big and important
projects at his time, but it was mostly destroyed later ;-). Remains
of the marble cladding of his Reichkanzlei (Chancelory) can be found
e.g. in Treptow:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Berlin_Treptow_Ehrenmal_11.jpg (but
this wouldn't make him architect for this anyway). Most of his
projects didn't even get to realisation

what doesn't make me sorry!
But there are some remains:

and as some people have started to tag street lights, they might
attach an architect=Albert_Speer there ;-)

cheers,
