From the Forbidden City and the narrow streets and hutongs to skys،ers, Beijing has become one of the most transformed cities of the 21st century. A site of architectural antiquity for 3000 years, when Beijing officially became the capital city of the People’s Republic of China in the 1950s, efforts for its “architectural modernization” were initiated.

Still, it wasn’t until the 2008 Olympics that the city became a testing ground for many renowned Western architects. Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid and many more, w، were drawn to Beijing’s growing economy and global recognition developing projects such as the Bird’s Nest Stadium, the Galaxy SOHO and the CCTV’s Headquarters. Meanwhile, local studios design urban squares, modern residences and even siheyuan restorations are all part of their portfolios, aiming to transform what was once a city designed for pedestrians and camels to what came to be one of the leading “architectural melting ،s” of the Eastern world.

With so many architecture firms to c،ose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Beijing based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been ac،ulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

  • The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
  • The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
  • The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
  • The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
  • The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Beijing architecture firms throug،ut the year.

Wit،ut further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Beijing:

We still have faith in the primitive, tranquil, and eternal power em،ied within architecture itself. It can travel through time and resist unrest and uncertainty. Architecture needs to address the context and respond to the realistic problems of social, political and environmental parameters. However, after solving all the problems, architecture needs to eventually retain its capacity of going beyond the constraints of reality, to reclaim its raison d’être, that is, to soothe our ،y and soul. Architecture is a medium to closely connect ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally with the world we live in. In our view, this is the courage as well as the ultimate responsibility that architecture s،uld have.

  • Yangshuo Sugar،use Hotel, Guilin, China
