America's Favorite Architecture

{{Short description|Most popular works of architecture in the US}}

"America's Favorite Architecture" is a list of buildings and other structures identified as the most popular works of architecture in the United States.

In 2006 and 2007, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) sponsored research to identify the most popular works of architecture in the United States. Harris Interactive conducted the study by first polling a sample of the AIA membership and later polling a sample of the public.American Institute of Architects, "About this Exhibit", [http://favoritearchitecture.org/afa150.php FavoriteArchitecture.org website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110510113118/http://favoritearchitecture.org/afa150.php |date=May 10, 2011 }}

In the first phase of the study, 2,448 AIA members were interviewed and asked to identify their "favorite" structures. Each was asked to name up to 20 structures in each of 15 defined categories. The 248 structures that were named by at least six of the AIA members were then included in a list of structures to be included in the next phase, a survey of the general public. The survey of the public involved a total of 2,214 people, each of whom rated many photographs of buildings and other structures drawn from the list of 248 structures that had been created by polling the architects. The public's preferences were ranked using a "likeability" scale developed for the study.[http://www.buildingonline.com/news/viewnews.pl?id=5896 American Institute of Architects Releases Poll Showing "America's Favorite Architecture"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225001159/http://www.buildingonline.com/news/viewnews.pl?id=5896 |date=February 25, 2012 }}, Building Online, March 15, 2007

As part of the commemoration of the organization's 150th anniversary in 2007, the AIA announced the list of the 150 highest-ranked structures as "America's Favorite Architecture". New York City is the location of 32 structures on the list, more than any other place. Of the 10 top-ranked structures, 6 are in Washington, DC, which is the location of 17 of the 150 structures on the complete list. Chicago has 16 structures on the list.

The 150 top-ranked structures are listed below:American Institute of Architects, [http://favoritearchitecture.org/ FavoriteArchitecture.org website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304063617/http://favoritearchitecture.org/ |date=March 4, 2012 }}

Criticisms

The list reflects popular sentiment as measured by an opinion survey, and thus diverges from the judgment of architecture critics. Urban design critic John King of the San Francisco Chronicle described the list as "the architectural equivalent of comfort food."John King, [https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/When-it-comes-to-the-tops-in-architecture-it-s-2617624.php "When it comes to the tops in architecture, it's all about how it makes people feel"], San Francisco Chronicle, February 13, 2007 King noted that the public's ratings were based on seeing a single photo of each building, and pointed out that "There's more to architecture than a picture can convey." Architect and past AIA president R. K. Stewart acknowledges that the list "isn't necessarily the design professional's view of the best buildings, but the emotional connection to where people live and work and play." Buildings named by architects and critics as highly significant, but that did not achieve top 150 ranking in the public survey, included the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, designed by Louis Kahn; the Inland Steel and John Hancock buildings in Chicago; Washington Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Virginia, designed by Eero Saarinen; and the Seagram Building in New York City, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.Alex Frangos, [https://www.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-poparch07-sort2.html "Americans' Favorite Buildings"], The Wall Street Journal, February 7, 2007
