Vote for US Building of the Year 2023

The 2023 iteration of the US Building of the Week began a year ago with the redevelopment of federal public housing in Boston, and it wrapped up last month with a commercial development in suburban Houston. In between were a few dozen buildings in a variety of typologies, the majority of them with cultural, educational, and institutional; residential (single- and multi-family), commercial, and mixed-use also appeared. The geographical reach was also diverse, with the buildings found in 20 states plus the District of Columbia. Not surprisingly, nearly half of the projects are located in two states: California and New York.

As in previous years, when taking into account other characteristics — size of projects, new construction vs. adaptive reuse, urban vs. suburban vs. rural, ages of architects/firms, etc. — the curated assemblage of buildings paints a portrait of American architecture in the third decade of the 21st century and captures some of the trends, architectural and otherwise, preoccupying architects in the United States.
