BDP regains AJ100 top spot

摘要

BDP has returned to the top of the AJ100 - the definitive list of Britain's biggest architecture firms - after only a year's absence.The global practice, which has taken first place in nine out of the last 10 years, stole the top spot from Atkins, which dropped 138 architects from the 381 it employed in 2008.Atkins, which slipped into third place in the table behind Foster + Partners, blamed a new internal way of classifying architects who are 'no longer practising' or have changed discipline for the huge reduction in its qualified staff.
