Continue reading for more on how you can improve your studios ranking.London is a city that has been forced to redevelop constantly. Like many cities, it has accrued layers of history. However, events like the Great Fire and The Blitz have also torn holes in the urban fabric, necessitating moments of reflection and rethinking. Nowadays, Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture are intermingled with hulking Brutalist structures, curving glass faades and anonymous steel giants.Nowadays, the city remains home to preeminent architectural schools such as UCLs Bartlett School of Architecture. In addition, Londons galleries and museums nurture a design culture with thought-provoking exhibitions about space and society, including the ever-popular Serpentine Pavilion. Meanwhile, as a global metropolis, the British citys diversity is one of its great strengths, becoming home to a bevy of heavyweight firms and up-and-coming studios whose names are known locally and abroad.With so many architecture firms to choose from, its challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs.
