For decades, architectural competitions have been recognized as a great way for architecture firms to get their big break, or to make a name for themselves in the types of projects they might not have been considered for before. However, competitions come with a downside: it's not always easy for firms to build them in to their culture. Design competitions take time, often don't translate to billable hours, and aren't always clear pathways to strengthening the firm's balance sheet, and as a result they have seen something of a backlash in recent years.

Emerging from progressive studios, public works and social-enterprise investments, integrated design has entered mainstream architecture. For no surer sign that this highly collaborative process has become a new best practice, look to the residential projects in which most of the industry works: architects of single- and multifamily buildings are assembling teams of partners and consultants to better deliver what homeowners want — and today, they want more storage.

Metropolis
Toll booths, traffic cones, and other Los Angeles's urban detritus provided the material basis for architects Laurel Broughton and Andrew Kovacs's 2014 Gallery Attachment installation.
