{{Short description|Most popular works of architecture in the US}}”
America’s Favorite Architecture” is a list of buildings and other structures identified as the most popular works of
architecture in the
United States.In 2006 and 2007, the
American Institute of Architects (AIA) sponsored research to identify the most popular works of architecture in the United States.
Harris Interactive conducted the study by first
polling a
sample of the AIA membership and later polling a sample of the public.American Institute of Architects, “About this Exhibit”,
FavoriteArchitecture.org website {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110510113118
favoritearchitecture.org/afa150.php |date=May 10, 2011 }} In the first phase of the study, 2,448 AIA members were interviewed and asked to identify their “favorite”
structures. Each was asked to name up to 20 structures in each of 15 defined categories. The 248 structures that were named by at least six of the AIA members were then included in a list of structures to be included in the next phase, a
survey of the general public. The survey of the public involved a total of 2,214 people, each of whom rated many photographs of
buildings and other structures drawn from the list of 248 structures that had been created by polling the architects. The public’s preferences were ranked using a “likeability” scale developed for the study.

Criticisms
When it was released, critics observed that the list of “favorites” did not reflect the judgments of architectural “experts”. Upon the list’s release, AIA president R. K. Stewart acknowledged that the rankings did not represent architects’ professional judgments, but instead reflected people’s “emotional connections” to buildings.John King, “When it comes to the tops in architecture, it’s all about how it makes people feel”, San Francisco Chronicle, February 13, 2007 Buildings named by critics as being some that architects consider to be highly significant, but that did not achieve top 150 ranking in the public survey, included the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, designed by Louis Kahn; the Inland Steel and John Hancock buildings in Chicago; Washington Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Virginia, designed by Eero Saarinen; and the Seagram Building in New York City, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.Alex Frangos, “Americans’ Favorite Buildings”, The Wall Street Journal, February 7, 2007 John King of the San Francisco Chronicle pointed out that in 1991 the AIA had named Eero Saarinen’s design for Dulles Airport as one of ten “all-time works of American architects.” King noted that the public’s ratings were based on seeing just one photo of each building, and pointed out that “There’s more to architecture than a picture can convey.” Structures ranked below the top 150
