Architype finds inspiration in projects that somehow redefine our understanding of a certain typology. Through good design, these architects created smart and forward thinking solutions to the particular constraints or challenges presented by each project. Grouped together by type, they provide a survey of innovation taking place at several different scales, promoted by both large and small firms. Presented here in the words and images of their own creative team, the following projects also offer an index of ideas and solutions as well as creative people and products within the industry.

2008 Notable Projects -- Civic Buildings: mOrphosis - U.S. Federal Building; Richard Meier & Partners Architects LLP - San Jose CIty Hall; Höweler + Yoon Architecture - Boston City Hall; Rafael Viñoly Architects - Bronx Hall of Justice; Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects - Vaughan Civic Center; Bassetti Architects | Bohlin Cywinski Jackson - Seattle City Hall; Antoine Predock Architect PC - Austin City Hall; Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects - U.S. Federal Courthouse.
