In a move that celebrates architectural excellence, we are delighted to announce a significant enhancement to the Firm Profiles pages on Architizer: introducing distinctive blue “+” badges for firms that have secured an A+Award in any Firm Awards category. Architects can also expect to see a summary of the cumulative number of A+Awards that firms have won for projects over the years on their Architizer profiles.
The blue A+Award Firm Badges symbolize a mark of honor, indicating that a firm has achieved distinction and acclaim through the prestigious A+Award program. Previously confined to Project Pages, these badges now become a prominent feature on Firm Profiles, delivering an immediate visual cue of a firm’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of architectural design. Combined with a list of the number of awards won for various projects, these updates offer page visitors a comprehensive view of a firm’s commitment to quality design.
Elevating Excellence with A+Award Firm Badges

The blue “plus” badge isn’t just a visual embellishment; it serves as a powerful indicator that the firm and its projects have clinched a prestigious A+Award — and, if a firm wins in multiple categories or in separate years, they can expect to see an impressive stack of “+” badges on their firm page. Hovering a mouse over each badge reveals a trove of details, offering users a deeper understanding of the award, including its category, the year of recognition, and whether the project secured the coveted Jury or Popular Choice accolades. Finalists and Special Mentions can also expect to see these badges on their profiles!
Put differently, he A+Award program, synonymous with recognizing outstanding architecture worldwide, now extends its impact beyond individual projects to architectural firms themselves. The blue badges on Firm Profiles emphasize that firms have not only demonstrated design prowess on singular occasions but have consistently contributed to the evolution of the architectural industry, thereby setting the firm’s body of work — its overarching design approach — apart.
Architizer’s decision to integrate A+Award Firm Badges on Firm Profiles underscores the platform’s dedication to spotlighting industry leaders. Users can now navigate Firm Profiles with a heightened sense of confidence, knowing that the firms adorned with the A+Award badge have not only produced award-winning projects but have consistently demonstrated a commitment to pushing the boundaries of design over the course of years as an ethos of their practice. The cumulative tally of the number of A+Awards that firms have won for their projects over the years further contributes to this celebratory transparency.
