architecture and marketing + pimping

The German archi­tec­ture portal baunetz.de has pub­lished their quar­terly rank­ing of offices.

Their rank­ings are based on the number of pub­li­ca­tions in the past 24 months from a selec­tion of archi­tec­tural mag­a­zines (Bauwelt, Detail, Archi­tec­tural Review, a+u, architektur.aktuell, L’architecture d’aujourd’hui, Werk Bauen und Wohnen, domus - a little bit germany-​heavy, but that’s where baunetz comes from). The tra­di­tional top 3 order is H&M, OMA, Zaha. But this has been mixed up, OMA comes out on top, Zaha scores second and Herzog & DeMeu­ron come out third. Is this good - I doubt it. But does it matter? Not really.

London comes out on top as a city, with 14 prac­tices among the top 100. Rot­ter­dam fea­tures OMA, MVRDV and, inter­est­ingly Kempe Thill. See the list after the break.

    These exer­cises in sta­tis­tics don’t do much to dis­spell the rumour that archi­tects are press hungry mega­lo­ma­ni­acs. If any­thing, it is the mar­ket­ing teams at mag­a­zines that should be look­ing at these stats, not archi­tects. ;)
