Construction Digital Names the Top Global Architectural Firms Focusing on Sustainable Design

Online, July 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (San Diego, CA)-Construction Digital, the leading digital business publication for C-level executives in the construction industry, names the top sustainable architecture firms in the world in its July issue.

Among the top firms is Kieran Timberlake, the small firm that won the design competition for the new U.S. embassy in London, beating out Thom Mayne and Pei Cobb Freed for the coveted job. The controversial design, meant to reflect American ideals abroad in a post 9/11 world, has been hailed by some as exemplifying American democracy and criticized by others as a bland, cubic fortress.

The firms featured incorporate sustainable elements into their designs, making them the global leaders of sustainable architectural design. The firms, which include AEDAS and KPF, are responsible for many of the buildings in the skylines of major cities in Europe, Australasia, the Middle East and North and South America.
