Gensler, Perkins&Will, and HDR continued a three-year streak atop Architectural Record’s annual ranking of the top 300 American architecture firms by revenue. Gensler reported $1.37 billion in architecture revenue, more than double that of any other firm and a jump from the $1.32 billion it reported in 2021—but still substantially lower than the $1.52 billion it reported in 2020.

AECOM, which saw one of the largest reported increases in architecture revenue, from $337 million in 2021 to $434 million this year, rose from eighth to fourth place in the rankings. Rounding out the 2022 top ten are Jacobs, HKS, HOK, CannonDesign, Stantec, and Perkins Eastman, which narrowly edged out Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Among the top ten firms, half reported year-over-year increases in architecture revenue.

Other top firms that saw notable architecture revenue increases include Columbus-based IBI Group, which rose from 20^th to 13^th place; Irvine, CA-based Ware Malcomb, which rose from 24^th to 15^th place; and Detroit-based SmithGroup, which rose from 23^rd to 16^th. Minneapolis-based HGA reported a near-quadruple increase in revenue, from $34 million to $129 million, and rose 78 places from 101^st to 23^rd.

Firms that saw notable declines in architecture revenue include New York-based Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, which fell from 13^th to 18^th place, and Omaha-based LEO A DALY, which fell from 17^th to 34^th place and reported a decline in revenue from $195 million to $89 million.
