AIA's Architecture Billings Index Crosses 50, First Time Since 2008

While firms like Foster & Partners might be struggling to have an upbeat week across the pond, for those of us in the States, if you’d want to cautiously open a cautious bottle of inexpensive champagne to kinda sorta celebrate, this would be the time for it. For the first time since January of 2008, the American Institute of Architects‘ Architecture Billings Index has finally crossed the 50 point threshold, meaning there is currently, or at least at the time of the survey, an increase in billings across the industry.
