A bright child,
art flowing from him;
a clear stream,
setting standards
and breaking moulds.
Later, he watered down his own ideas,
allowed others into his fold.
Answer - Akira Yoshizawa
Guesses from 11942 - 12619
Clues: It is a male person.
There's nothing hidden in the riddle - no misspellings, no extra letters, no white text, etc.
Not a child star.
The dude in the riddle isn't alive any more.
Not a musician. At least, not known for being a musician.
It is a real person. He has a birth and death date (listed on Wiki) and is provably real.
Not a philosopher.
He is an artist of sorts.

Walls with no doors just sims in the room with wooden chairs then when one dies the other sim poofs out.

A bright child, - According to my researchings, Akira means 'bright child'.
art flowing from him; - Was prolific, producing tens of thousands of designs.
a clear stream, - Yoshizawa means 'clear stream'.
setting standards - Devised the standard notation used in origami diagrams.
and breaking moulds. - Pioneered a number of techniques
Later, he watered down his own ideas, - Invented the wet-folding technique.
allowed others into his fold. - In his younger days, he jealously guarded his designs but later in life, he didn't mind others diagramming his models.
I think Origami is somewhere between engineering and art, much the same way architecture could be seen. The Gherkin could be seen as art but La Tour Montparnasse probably wouldn't.
