As part of the commemoration of the organization’s 150th anniversary<\/a> in 2007, the American Institute of Architects<\/a> (AIA) announced the list of the 150 highest-ranked structures<\/strong> as “America’s Favorite Architecture”. It was based upon a study by Harris Interactive over the course of two years polling<\/a> a sample<\/a> of the AIA membership and later polling a sample of the public. The public’s preferences were ranked using a “likeability” scale developed for the study. AIA president R.K. Stewart acknowledged that the rankings did not represent architects’ professional judgments, but instead reflected people’s “emotional connections” to buildings. As a result, many buildings that architects consider highly significant did not make the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York City<\/a> 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<\/a>, which is the location of 17 of the 150 structures on the complete list.Chicago<\/a> has 16 structures on the list. Over the course of this and the next nine issues, we will show them all to you. Here are the top fifteen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
