I can’t believe that a list of the “Top 250 US Architectural Firms” is based solely on revenue.
In millions.
Hilarious.
the list should be called “FIRMS WITH HIGHEST INCOMING REVENUE” not TOP ARCHITECTURE FIRMS
An accountant must’ve compiled this list, or someone that could tell the difference between BIG NUMBERS and small numbers. not Architecture.
for all who will complain that its based on revenue
what? are you gonna tell me that you dont want to be on this list?? i’d love to be, hell i PLAN to be
These aren`t necessarily most caring about staff either. Could be managers and shareholders make them top the list.
If you want to be on that list then you are not an architect. Don’t read archdaily. read economist and design ugly buildings.
I’ve worked at two of those firms – probably did more designing there than at my current smaller firm. Debating going back to one.
Wow, a lot of negative comments. Thanks for posting this.
