John Portman may have created the atrium hotel, and maybe a short lived trend to go with it, but he didn't shape the course of architecture for decades to come like those other buildings/architects.
I guess we don't really know that yet, do we? I'm also not sure how short-lived the trend is, as it is currently still going pretty strong.
