From stunning skyscrapers to remote desert homes to iconic cultural landmarks, the United States’ built environment could be characterized as the most diverse in the world. Reflecting upon the country’s turbulent history as well as the plethora of contexts against which architects are challenged, US architecture is a multifaceted endeavor found in cultural melting pots — cities such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles — as well as in extraordinary landscapes.

Albeit quite “new”  (shaped primarily from 17th century European influences and later on by the industrial revolution), US architecture fosters a notable synergy between art, science and technology. Iconic art deco buildings, modernist architects as well as an array of speculative and experimental practices greatly advanced the profession and discourse throughout the years. Consequently, this collection of firms is exemplary in its heterogeneity in methods, philosophies and approaches to making architecture.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in United States based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of United States architecture firms throughout the year.
