Architects

Every five years the ITA ranks the Top 50 Traditional and Classical Architecture Firms.

The ranking criteria are:
Consistently producing designs that are beautiful, practical, and respectful of their settings.

Firms are judged only on their work. The size of a practice, years of experience, contribution to and reputation within the industry are not taken into account. The list only contains practicing firms and architects, therefore some urban planners, preservationists, and professors may be noticeably absent.
