A new word in the A/E industry?
(OP)
Check out the 11th paragraph of this article where the word:
Starchitect
is used...basically referring to a famous, hot-commodity architect. In this case, they are actually putting his face up on billboards. I had to laugh when they referred to people who said, "Who the hell is that?".

Buy a dictionary, keep it nearby and USE it. Webster's New World Dictionary of American English is recommended, and Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.
