Architizer, as many readers here know,
is a website that "empowers architecture" and architects by connecting
them with each other and a broader audience. At its root is a
Facebook/LinkedIn-esque system where individuals are given a face
alongside the usual projects found on the site and elsewhere. But do the
firms have faces, beyond the individuals? Well, as a way to kick start
my "firm faces" feature in gear again, I browsed the site's Firms tab to see how many firms actually put faces on their logo. Below is a sampling from a quick perusal of the first 50 or so pages.
