Hmm. I think of both traditional and modernist architects as being the opposite of explorers since they build in the core with or without reverence for tradition. Exploratory architecture would probably be about exploring new materials and unprecedented environments.

Example exploratory architect. Pioneered reinforced concrete leading to skyscrapers.

Notably, Ransome was more engineer than architect it looks like. So we can claim him for team explorer.

For those following my goat-crow-rat blog series, the op is an outtake from that theory. Crow = architect, rat = psychologist, goat - explorer. Ignore if you’re not following that lunatic magical thinking trail.

Mostly architect and social. Not much explorer unless they’re experimenting with new crop varieties or techniques.

'performer' is another; it's not really in the span of those three but encompasses a significant amount of the work of a number of professions (e.g. professor, CEO, salesperson, etc)
