DECEMBER 11, 2006
Designed For Success It takes more than just a pretty facade to win a BusinessWeek/Architectural Record Award This year BusinessWeek joins with Architectural Record, a sister publication at The McGraw-Hill Companies (MHP ), to reward the world's most exceptional architecture. It's a contest that stretches beyond the aesthetic focus typical of most architectural awards programs. The BW/AR Awards program relies on rigorous metrics to measure how architecture solves client problems and achieves business goals. Winners of our ninth annual contest come from a competitive pool of 176 entries from across the world, showcasing the most successful collaborations between architects and clients. They vary in program, scale, budget, and size, but each combines business acumen with artistic excellence. The eight winners represent great diversity. In one project, a 20th century candy factory finds a second life as a light-filled biomedical research lab. In another, a streamlined glass cube floods sunlight into subterranean retail space that has become a company's most successful outlet. A third project, for a Mexican ad agency, embodies flexibility by putting everything--including the walls--on wheels. What unites all of these projects is their clear demonstration of architecture's ability to be aesthetically compelling and bottom-line savvy at the same time.
