In July, I visited the museum, which is built by a famous architect.

Please start a new thread for that. It is unrelated to your original question.
 
Aren't Don't both "He is called the most popular singer in history no full stop here" and "He has been called the most popular singer in history no full stop here" refer to titles that people gave him?

If they are do, what's their the difference between them?
Note my changes above. When you put a full sentence in quotation marks, include the full stop only if the outer sentence doesn't continue after the closing quotation marks.

The difference is that "He is called ..." means people still call him that, but "He has been called ..." means people called him that in the past.
 
If somebody "has been called" something it happened in the past. (See below.)

I have been called many things, but never that!
 
Not necessarily. He could still be called that.
The two things aren't necessarily contradictory. (See below.)

He has been called that for many years.
 
You’re absolutely right! The distinction between “He is called…” and “He has been called…” lies in the temporal context:

“He is called…”: This construction refers to the present or ongoing situation. It implies that people currently refer to him by a particular name or title. For example:
“He is called ‘The Wizard’ because of his extraordinary magic skills.”
“He has been called…”: This construction emphasizes the past actions or events. It suggests that people used to call him by a specific name or title, but it may not be as common now. For example:
“In his younger days, he has been called ‘The Daredevil’ due to his fearless stunts.”
 
When you've done that,, @flameshretoos, I want to know the source and context of these sentences.
