For our design-inclined, architecture-loving readers, we have a March Madness bracket geared towards your interests! Arch Madness is a collection of buildings that have withstood the test of time, as deemed by the AIA’s Twenty-Five Year Award. But it’s you, the reader, who decides which building is the best of the best in this bracket.
To play, compare the buildings matched against each other. Then, vote for which you prefer. We’ll be updating the bracket each round as you narrow down the competition to the final winner.
You may not think that Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum is in the same realm as the Gehry Residence. In our roundup, we pitted buildings against buildings, based on their winning year from oldest to most recent.
