PRESENTING THE 2021

ARCHITECTS POWER LIST

othing can be built without architects first envisioning, drawing and designing the spaces where we live and work.

Architects are often thrown in with engineers and construction professionals when we talk about the sector, but while they do the initial critical work that engineers and builders follow, architects also do a lot more.

They are the glue in the middle that holds all of those parts together. They preserve our communities with strong public places that bring sense to the places we live, even when we don’t realize it. Good architecture doesn’t get in your way, but you often don’t recognize it until it’s pointed out. Today, we are pointing out some of the most influential and important individuals in the architecture profession.

These people and their supporting

firms provide the paths toward progress by mapping out not just one building but how structures fit into the landscape and context of our communities.

When the ribbon is cut on the spaces that we do business in, don’t overlook the contribution of the architect. They’re not always standing in the front of the line with the giant scissors, but development doesn’t happen without them.

We picked this Power List as a companion to Banking and Finance and Real Estate because architects provide the spark of inspiration that has helped our economy begin to emerge from one of the worst challenges since 2008.

Our editorial team analyzed industry data and considered the individuals who demonstrated vision and action in serving their profession, as well as the professional excellence that commitment provides to our places of work and life.

Please join me in congratulating these individuals in print and online.
