Survey of architecture firms finds U.S. firms dominate the world market for international projects.
A survey by "World Architecture" magazine reports that U.S. firms account for 38% of the world market for international projects. "Gains for the U.S. are most striking in South America, where none of the top 10 firms were American in 1998, yet 8 of the top 10 were U.S. firms a year later. " According to the latest AIA Firm Survey "...there has been an overall increase in the share of international billings at firms."
