The winners of the fifth annual BusinessWeek/Architectural Record Awards contest are standouts: architects and their clients who collaborated to create buildings with purpose and value. The range of winning entries is astounding--from the glitzy U.S. headquarters of a leading fashion house to a retaining wall that doubles as a mortuary at a Buddhist temple in Japan.

All, however, share a common understanding that a grand architectural gesture can say as much about a group's values or brand as any written mission statement, advertising campaign, or lobbying effort. A top-notch advertising agency, for example, designed its marketing office so that it inspired--and even honored--the firm's creative employees, while an environmental group packed so much state-of-the-green technology into its new headquarters that it amounted to nothing less than a statement of ethical purpose.

These awards, sponsored by the American Institute of Architects and two publications owned by The McGraw-Hill Companies, are special because the jury includes both businesspeople and architects. To win, an applicant must show how architectural solutions to thorny business problems can achieve measurable results--in other words, how good design really does prove to be good business. Whatever their values, this year's winning entries, which are described on the following pages, display a respect for creativity, beauty, simplicity, harmony--or whatever driving force is at their core.
