The top ten architecture companies in Indonesia received awards today from BCI Asia, the construction information group, in recognition of their contributions to the built environment in 2005.

These companies received BCI Asia Top Ten 2005 Awards at an exclusive ceremony at the Grand Hyatt Jakarta on 21 February. BCI Asia, in conjunction with the prestigious Architecture Asia and Architecture China journals, has bestowed Top Ten 2005 awards to these organizations and to 70 other companies in Asia at awards ceremonies in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
The BCI Top Ten Awards were conceived by BCI Asia to recognize the market leaders in architecture. To provide an objective ranking, BCI Asia aggregated the value of each architectural organization's projects under design or breaking ground between October 2003 and September 2004. Over this period, BCI Asia's research staff interviewed more than 100,000 architects, developers and engineers in compiling 40,000 detailed reports on US$400 billion worth of future building and construction projects. From this research, the leading providers of architectural and design services were determined.
While compiling the Top Ten index, BCI reported that construction works would start this year on an estimated US$40 billion worth of building projects in Mainland China, US$11 billion in Malaysia, US$9 billion in Indonesia, US$7 billion in Thailand, US$5 billion in Hong Kong, US$5 billion in Vietnam, US$4 billion in the Philippines and US$2 billion in Singapore. These estimates exclude the cost of infrastructure works.
BCI Asia's Chairman, Dr. Matthias Krups, said today: "BCI Top Ten 2005 Awards are the market's stamp of approval for architectural firms providing services in Asia. There are today many awards that recognize architecture in its artistic, aesthetic or even economic manifestation. However, when it comes to identifying those firms that most consistently and broadly meet or exceed their clients' expectations, there has been, so far, no reliable measure. The Top Ten 2005 Awards intend to fill that void. They provide an objective measure for the best of the best in architecture in Asia.
"BCI Top Ten 2005 recognizes the greatest architectural firms in eight key markets of Asia. Developers and others procuring architectural services need look no further to ascertain the top players in their market," said Dr Krups.
When the winning 80 architectural organizations received their BCI Asia Top Ten 2005 Awards, Patron's Awards, by world-leading suppliers to the building industry, were also bestowed upon the organizations that excelled in the use of the patron's particular building technology.
At the ceremony in Jakarta, a Philips Architectural Lighting Award 2005 was bestowed to PTI Architects, an Autodesk Design Excellence Award 2005 was bestowed to Airmas Asri, a Schindler Vertical Transportation in Architecture Award 2005 was bestowed to PTI Architects and a Hansgrohe Design Achievement Award 2005 was bestowed to Nexus Studio Architects.
Dickon Purvis of Jardine Schindler Group said, "It seemed only right to us at Schindler that a lift and escalator company should be one of the main sponsors of the BCI Top Ten Awards for 2005. We are also especially pleased that this award should be going to PTI, an architectural practice that clearly embodies the highest values of creativity and design in both commercial and residential buildings.
"Since our lifts and escalators are not only infrastructure products for the building, but also features that have a considerable aesthetic impact over and above their functionality, we naturally spend a good deal of our time working together with architects such as PTI. That's why we're more than happy to support a programme that honours excellence in design: because the better the design, the better we can contribute to its success," Dickon said.
