Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 25, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Bernard Tschumi! May your celebrations be as delightfully deconstructed and intriguingly complex as the Parc de la Villette. We hope you spend today breaking down birthday cake conventions—perhaps slicing it diagonally or suspending candles mid-air in true architectural rebellion.

Your visionary designs like Tokyo's National Theater and Opera House continue to inspire awe (and occasional confusion) worldwide. You've taught us that buildings don't just shelter—they provoke thought, challenge norms, and occasionally make visitors wonder if gravity is optional. Here's wishing another year of groundbreaking ideas; may all your blueprints remain beautifully unpredictable yet structurally sound!
