The 10 Most Innovative Architecture Firms in 2022

Explore the full 2022 list of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, 528 organizations whose efforts are reshaping their businesses, industries, and the broader culture. 

Architects are masters at taking novel ideas and turning them into physical spaces. The firms on this year’s list of the 10 most innovative companies in the architecture industry have pushed the limits of what it means to build. One found ways of applying sustainable design at the scale of a stadium, ensuring that every event under its roof can happen without producing any net carbon dioxide emissions. Another firm developed a method of building floors that slashes excess material use, eliminating most of the concrete and steel that undergird the skyscraping floors of urban high-rises. Another firm is pushing the standard billboard into the realm of technicolor alien spaceships with a bold street-side advertising/art structure right in the heart of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip.

That’s what recent A+Awards winners have taught us, with more women than ever leading teams in conceptualizing, designing, and delivering some of the world’s best architecture around the globe. Women have been the creative force behind dozens of winning projects in recent seasons, from B.L.U.E. Architecture Studio’s Yoko Fujii and Apparatus Architects’ Gabriella Gamma to KIENTRUC O’s Anni Le and Formafatal’s Dagmar Štěpánová.

For the 10th Annual A+Awards, there is also a growing number of pioneering women on the program’s preeminent jury, setting up a refreshing prospect: Many of this year’s A+Award-winning projects will be designed by women, and rewarded by women, too.
