Google Logo for Walter Gropius' birthday

Find out who Walter Gropius is. He must be very famous to be featured as Google logo. When I lookup at Wikipedia, I found out that he’s born as Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969). Walter Gropius was a German architect and founder of Bauhaus. He’s the father of modern architecture.

It would be great if I can have my birthday featured as Google logo! Or maybe yours?
