Taste makers in architecture

Silly tittle (not mine, I got it from Forbes), good to see that they start with David Adyaje

“This year Forbes.com set out to name 10 architects most influencing our culture. Our Tastemakers pioneer new building techniques, cross cultures and blur boundaries between architecture, art, landscape design and urban planning. They impact more then just aesthetics; they’re changing the way we live.

To come up with our list, we surveyed working architects, academics and industry organizations. We tracked English-language print media coverage over the last year through Factiva, noted prominent past structures, museum exhibits and assessed commissions-in-progress. Architects love to honor their colleagues with significant awards, like the Pritzker Prize (considered the highest honor in the field), the International Union of Architects (UIA), Gold Medal and the AIA Gold Medal, so we factored in those as well. These awards recognize more than a significant building; they honor a lifetime of work.”
