Last week, we reviewed the most anticipated buildings of 2019 and this week, we look back at the best completed projects of 2018. According to Architectural Digest, 2018 was a fruitful year in the world of architecture. “From a museum for the St. Louis Arch by Cooper Robertson to Snohetta’s new Calgary Public Library, the structures erected in 2018 proved that our culture is one that is steadfast in preserving the past while hellbent on implementing the technologies of the future.” It’s a difficult task to narrow down a list of the best buildings in any given year, but this year had a strong group of finalists. Click here to see more. We are honored to have played a small role in cladding the visitor center for the highly-anticipated National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which opened in the Fall.
