Actually reading up that architect he does seem like a truly shitawful individual who built horrible buildingsFleming named Goldfinger after an architect whose buildings he disliked. He named Blofeld and Scaramanga after boys he went to school with. He based Blofeld off Basil Zaharoff, the arms dealer. If anything it's the movie people who made them generic, nondescript villains.
