I credit Stern's "Pride of Place" tv show with being important for
getting me to think architecture.

Sure, I gravitated towards it because of a latent interest but it
mayn't have stuck w/o him.

Whoever said Mengoni was a fascist architect did you a disservice. The
Galleria is nearly 50 years before there was fascism in Italy. The
Galleria is really electic, and is a product of Italy's Gilded Age,
which was a bit earlier than America's, by 10-15 years.
Terragni was more a Rationalist than a fascist. Piacentini was more
Fascist than Rationalist.

When I was in school, it was Corb, Kahn, Venturi, Eisemann, Meier,
Graves, in roughly that order of priority of importance. I preferred
Van Eyck and Gaudi. Later I came to appreciate the Renaissance
architects. Now I'm working my way backwards from Art Nouveau period.

As a kid (12-14), I thought Soleri was cool. Now he's just quaint.

I meant my teachers, not the architects cited. (Sorry) One of them had a
"thing" for 'arcades' and so we did a studio on them.

See above note about teachers.

I really like Norman Shaw and Lutyens. It strikes me as a very 'free'
period.
