The Best Architecture of 2023: Solving Problems in Imaginative Style

But if we no longer think in terms of greatness, the past year has given us some very good buildings. Imaginative problem-solving, masterly use of innovative technology, and concern for the human experience of a building: All are there in abundance.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
