Transportation was once again a driving force for designers working in California in 2018. In fact, four of the top 10 entries on the Top Design Firms list reported that transportation was their No. 1 revenue generator, while five of the top 10 said it was their No. 2 or No. 3 biggest sector.
2018年最大的运输项目之一是49亿美元的洛杉矶世界机场自动化人物搬新利18备用网址家。HDR，今年排名第二，是设计建造项目的主要设计师，与HNTB合作担任设计Sub顾问。
HDR is also working on the $408-million OC Streetcar Project in the city of Santa Ana, once again working with HNTB, the No. 8 ranked design firm. For this project, HNTB designed the streetcar plans, with Walsh Construction in charge of construction. Scheduled to begin testing and operations in late 2021, the OC Streetcar will run on a 4.1-mile route, serving Santa Ana’s downtown areas.
另一个热门市场是教育，总部位于加利福尼亚州圣罗莎的Quattrocchi Kwok Architects（QKA）蓬勃发展。

“The biggest market drivers are the large number of local public-school bonds and the state’s $9-billion school construction bond, Proposition 51,” says Mark Quattrocchi, principal and founder of QKA. “Additionally, there is a high demand for major school renovations due to not only aging facilities, but pent-up demand resulting from the recession halting most school work.”
Quattrocchi的公司在调查中排名第42，专门研究K-12和高等教育设计，他说，全州范围的建筑和相关承包商和分包商的相关短缺正在创造出非常高的建筑成本，尤其是在旧金山湾区。新利18备用官网登录
A couple of QKA’s largest current projects are a $47-million complete restoration and modernization of Alameda High School, a historic, 100,000-sq-ft, 1924 neoclassical school, and the design of the new $40-million, two-story Lila Bringhurst Elementary School in Fremont.
对于排名第36的Steinberg Hart来说，设计气氛是全面的福音。
斯坦伯格·哈特（Steinberg Hart）总裁兼首席执行官戴维·哈特（David Hart）表示：“我们现有的市场正在经历创纪录的增长，我们将继续扩大我们的地理和市场领域。”“我们还看到现有客户的重复业务强劲，并正在与领先的国家开发商合作。”
斯坦伯格·哈特（Steinberg Hart）的合伙人西蒙·哈（Simon Ha）表示，该公司最热门的部门是以运输为导向的混合用途和热情好客的，他是由强大的经济体和缺乏住房供应的驱动的，这使住房危机的需求增加了。
“随着加利福尼亚政策继续朝着碳中性发展，开发政策正在鼓励城市振兴，大众运输基础设施和富裕地区的建筑物密度，” HA说。“随着洛杉矶，圣地亚哥的城市文艺复兴，海湾地区和硅谷继续前进，人们正在拥抱城市文化，并增加了这些城市对更多工作和住房的需求。”
A prime example is Miro, a 28-story high-rise mixed-use project under construction in downtown San Jose, on which Steinberg Hart is the design and executive architect. The development, slated for completion in 2020, will be San Jose’s tallest and will have 630 units.
调查中的第三公司Stantec也在其设计实践中看到了积极的结果。Stantec副总裁兼太平洋地区区域领导人Alfonso Rodriguez表示，加利福尼亚的业务明显改善了多年来，而一直静止的部门却在反弹上。
Among the firm’s current health care projects is the $275-million University of California San Francisco Precision Cancer Medicine Building in San Francisco’s Mission Bay. Stantec is providing design, programming and serving as the integrated delivery partner for the project, which is nearing substantial completion and expected to house its first patients this summer.
The economy is also creating available funding for public office space design, says John C. Webre, CEO of Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture. He adds that civic and mission-critical projects are among the firm’s hottest sectors.
Dreyfuss + Blackford目前最大的工作是Swing Space，这是一座476,000平方英尺，4.2亿美元的设计建造办公楼，可为萨克拉曼多的加利福尼亚州提供。该公司是HOK的副建筑师，而Hensel Phelps是建筑商。这项11层的项目将于2021年8月完成。
