The list was published in the May 2009 issue. Firms were first chosen by editors of Architect based on their standard of work and inclusion in other industry rankings. Also surveyed were 16,000 randomly selected Architect readers and subscribers. Once tabulated, firms were ranked based on caliber of design, sustainable practices, 2008 awards, and fiscal responsibility.“It is gratifying to have climbed almost two-fold in national rankings in just a year. It is even more rewarding when that recognition is based on criteria that emphasize design excellence and environmental responsibility rather than just traditional financial metrics. Certainly having been recognized with several national design excellence awards during the past 12 months by both peers and user groups, and demonstration of our commitment to sustainability through 74 LEED Accredited Professionals on our staff has gone a long way in bringing those results to every one of our clients,” explained Bruce E.
