ABSTRACT

Focusing on buildings designed by winners of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture, I create a sample of 509 buildings-designed-by-signature-architects (BDSA) in the . This yields 170 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that contain 509 BDSA. Drawing on U.S.

Census data from 2010 2019, 13 economic data points are collected for each MSA in the sample, yielding 2,210 initial data points. The same 13 data points are collected for each of the 37 states where at least one BDSA currently resides, yielding an additional 481 unique data points

Finally, the same 13 data points are collected for the U.S. economy as a whole. This data is sorted using basic weighted-average calculations to measure the relationship between the number of

BDSA and the regional economic performance of the group of MSAs containing those BDSA, weighted by the number of BDSA in each . The BDSA-weighted average of these economic statistics is then compared to the state and national averages for the same economic indicators.

The results of this study show that the 170 regions under analysis have BDSA-weighted economic indicators that, when viewed together, demonstrate significantly more robust regional economic environments than the population-weighted average statistics for the 37 state economies in which they reside and the national average for the U.S. The results of this study show that BDSAs overwhelmingly appear in economically vibrant that are wealthier, more racially diverse, more educated and more employed than the respective average for the 37 states that contain at least one BDSA, and the United States overall.

PREFACE

This paper begins by introducing art as a measurable and economically relevant component of global financial markets. Chapter 2 discusses architecture as a hybrid form of art that serves a clear functional purpose, as well as a secondary purpose as a medium for creative expression, by summarizing a few prominent studies that guide much of the current debate over the economic value of architecture. Chapter 3 describes the methodology for my empirical analysis that addresses two key questions: 1) Where in the United States is signature architecture concentrated? and 2) How do these regional economies stack up against the state and national economies in which they operate? Chapter 4 presents the data gathered for this study without additional commentary. Chapter 5 provides data tables summarizing the key information gleaned from the data in Chapter 4. Chapter 6 discusses the findings and draws conclusions based on the data. In addition, Chapter 6 recommends further research and offers a few concluding thoughts.

The key finding of this paper is that buildings designed by signature architects (BDSA) are concentrated in many of the wealthiest and most-educated cities in the United States, implying that an appreciation for high design ma be a common element of economicall productie societies. Further, the available data strengthens the point made in past studies that the very presence of good architecture helps inspire positive mindsets in people, which can indirectly trickle down into higher achievement and increased local economic productivity.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Art has existed in human civilization long before value was a concept entrenched in economic thinking. In fact, the oldest remnants of art, the Bhimbetka and Daraki-Chattan

Cupules, have been dated to around 290 - 700,000 BCE. This period aligns with the earliest fossil evidence of Homo sapiens, which appeared in Africa some 300,000 years ago (Bhimbetka,

2020). These early stone carvings were created and preserved by humans despite their clear lack of functional value. As time progressed, human societies continued to create and preserve art for no reason other than a shared understanding and appreciation for beautiful things. Today, our world is rich in new, contemporary art as well as vast collections of works preserved over the course of human history, dating all the way back to the Daraki-Chattan Cupules so many years ago.

Figure 3 - Bhimbetka and Daraki-Chattan Cupules (290–700,000 BC) 2 However, despite its constant presence in society, contemporary arguments that encourage investment in the arts are resisted by economic thought as well as empirical analysis.

In 2013, for example, research done by analysts at Stanford found that the real annual return of art since 1973 has been 6.5 percent, well below the 10 percent that is often claimed by proponents of the arts as a reliable financial asset (Korteweg et. al, 2013). They found that selection bias, in which the repeat sale of popular pieces is not considered, drove up the historic average annual returns and, when corrected, yielded a real return of 6.5 percent. While this is still an impressive rate of return, well above current interest rates that can be earned on safe assets such as government bonds, it is an aggregate number. This means that, as a whole, art investments may be quite profitable, but one must correctly choose which individual pieces will appreciate, which is no easy feat.

A popular and oft-cited example of this dynamic occurring in the real world is John

Maynard Keynes famous art collection. In 2018, conducted an analysis and found that, in 2018 dollars, J.M. Keynes spent $840,000 to amass an art collection now worth

$99 million, working out to an average annual return of 10.9 percent (Zweig, 2018). However, when they looked beneath the headline , researchers found that only two pieces of art in the 135-piece collection accounted for half of the growth in value of the entire collection. Further, only 10 pieces constituted approximately 91 percent of the collections last measured value.

Keynes and other wealthy art collectors will often note that they do not amass art for purely financial reasons, but rather for a simple, human appreciation for arts incredible beaut. While some investors may get lucky and find that a particular piece of art experiences an enormous rise in value, it is more likely the case that lopsided inconsistent returns, if any at all, will be earned.

While the prices of stocks do not vary significantly based on where they trade, art pieces do not have the same luxury of an active and liquid market hosted on a centralized group of exchanges. In the case of art, the asset markets are highly illiquid, falling to a few one-off 3 auctions for pieces, and investors may be able to buy an asset cheaply, if they are lucky. As a result of this illiquidity, dealers, auction houses and private transactions often prices the same work of art at significantly different prices, depending on the time, buyer, location and number of other factors. Additionally, the process of buying art is expensive, with high commissions and markups paid to the intermediary facilitating the sale of the piece. However, while the prices and return on art as an investment is more often less than desirable, strict financial measures fail to capture the psychic value of living a life surrounded by history and beauty. In much the same way with architecture, stakeholders must acknowledge that, in the end, the psychic value of living in the presence of beautiful architecture is the only return one can consistently count on.

However, as will be argued throughout this paper, I believe the financial community is misrepresenting arts value, specifically architecture, by overemphasizing financial value as the key data point when assessing the value of art and architecture in society. Logical actors call investment in the arts superfluous, implying that there are other more productive fields, such as energy, education, healthcare, infrastructure, or technology, that ought to command investment before the arts. And return on investment in the arts is not much better, as is evidenced above.

The reality, though, is that artistic activity is higher in productive economies and tends to indicate a more progressive and innovative society. In 2007, Florida and Melander studied communities with large bohemian populations, defined as every individual employed in arts, design, entertainment and media occupations. The authors concluded that communities with higher bohemian populations enjoy an aesthetic-amenity premium and an open culture premium due in part to their large artistic communities, which was found to have a substantial direct positive correlation with housing values, as well as with regional income, wages, technology and human capital (Florida, Mellander 2007).

The perceived value of art in the modern world is significant. And while assigning an economic value to art is difficult, there is a shared human understanding of the value of the arts, 4 demonstrated b our societs infatuation ith the creatie pursuits as mediums for entertainment, academic study, and enormous financial investment. To call investment in the arts superfluous, then, is a mistake. The preservation of art throughout human history, as well as modern research demonstrating the vibrant economies associated with artistic cities, makes clear that art has a dynamic effect on its local environment.

The value of art is determined by a combination of often intangible factors. Why did

Salvator Mundi sell for $450 million at Sothebs in 2017 (Blostein, Libetti, & Crow, 2018)?

You can be assured it is not just the oil paints used, or the parchment, or the frame, but rather a combination of attributes including (most notably) the reputation of its creator, Leonardo Da

Vinci, as well as its innovative use of light, shade and shadow to create a figure that seems alive on the canvas. Abiding by the assumption that art will stay relevant long into the future, collectors view art as a passive form of diversification and a reasonable store of value to combat inflation and earn a return over the long term.

Figure 4 - Salvator Mundi by Leonardo da Vinci

5 Hoeer, the argument remains that in the moment, art offers little to societ in terms of real economic value. A painting, , or beautiful piece of architecture cannot always feed a village and does not translate to predictable rises in income, local GDP growth, or other discernible economic improvement. However, this conclusion ignores an important reality: that the development of the arts has a noticeable connection to the health and wealth of a society. The proliferation of art is often a reflection of the strength and values of a society at a point in time.

Man of histors greatest artists came to prominence in powerful economic systems, where excess capital was available to fund endeavors that sought to achieve something greater than basic human survival. But does this mean great art only appears as a byproduct of economic growth? Not necessarily. The potential for excellence exists in all people. However, the reality is that an economically downtrodden society rarely has the spare resources needed to support the deelopment of the arts. When ones primar focus is here the net meal ill come from, it is difficult to find the time or energy necessary to create.

This helps explain why great renaissance artists were concentrated in a few small cities in

Italy, for example. The inhabitants of fifteenth-century Florence included Brunelleschi, Ghiberti,

Donatello, Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, Fra Angelico, Verrocchio, Botticelli, Leonardo, and

Michelangelo. These ten artists, considered to be among the greatest in human history, all lived and worked in Renaissance Italy, primarily in the city of Florence, during the same general time period. Based on this and other historical and modern examples, it can be argued that good design occurs in chunks of time, guided by geographical proximity. During the fifteenth century, Milan was about as big as Florence. Yet there are few world-renowned Milanese artists from this period.

Florence at this time already had a connected community of incredibly talented individuals working on similar problems, in this case, art, architecture and design. At that time, a promising artist had a significantly greater chance of finding success simply by being born and brought up in 6 Florence instead of Milan, where their skillset could be nurtured by the vibrant artistic community already in place.

These artists found themselves in a vibrant society that aggressively funded their artistic pursuits, benefiting greatly from the social and economic infrastructure laid by the Romans. This environment ensured the artists had the necessary financial support to develop into the masters we no recognie them as. This instance sparks a fundamental question about the arts: is a regions artistic economy a byproduct of a strong economy and thus an indulgent response to innovation and growth achieved within other fields? Or can investment in the arts itself jumpstart an economy and provide the cultural and environmental influences necessary to spur local innovation and economic growth? In other words, was Florence so wealthy, and thus able to fund the arts, thanks to, in part, an innovative and entrepreneurial social mindset that was encouraged by the artistic community? Or was the explosion of the arts only a happy after-effect of an industrious economy? Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

While it is true that mobility today is much higher than fifteenth century Italy, it is still the case that much of the great creative work is being done in a few hotspots around the world, such as Berlin, City, Cambridge, London and Silicon Valley. For anyone interested in leading-edge technological development, biomedical research, great writing, or great visual arts, they would find difficulty in perfecting their craft working in isolation, removed from these creative centers. In the same way that these creative communities prosper by grouping talented individuals together in one geographic proximity, they also cement their status as innovative and creatively important societies through the construction of signature architecture. We will find in this study that signature architecture is overwhelmingly concentrated in those U.S. cities which are already known for being the cultural, political and economic centers of the country (Table 3).

This thesis attempts to explore the concept of art, specifically fine architecture, as an agent of economic change. This paper supports arguments that favor investment in the arts by 7 demonstrating, through a study of award-winning architects in the United States, that the presence of signature architecture in a regional economy will often be correlated with above-average economic conditions, specifically measured by a more racially diverse population; a more educated population; higher earning households and individuals; higher percentage of working adults; and higher housing values and gross rents. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that thoughtful design can spark economic groth b acting as a conduit for knoledge transfer across firms and industries, creating a multiplier effect of sorts (Curried, 2006, 2007) that has a spillover effect, resulting in improving the surrounding economy. My research tests the ability of signature architects to help facilitate urban regeneration through the design and development of flagship buildings. More specifically, I analyze what economic characteristics are associated with regions with high concentrations of buildings-designed-by-signature-architects (BDSA). My hope is to gather data that lends to the argument that the symbolic presence of a signature architects built works can itself indirectly spark urban regeneration and local innovation, which translates into higher wages, education levels, property values and more civilians in the labor force, by attracting and encouraging innovative thinkers to a regional area. This papers overarching goal is to further inform the debate over whether buildings-designed-by-signature-architects (BDSA) should be considered premium assets that are uniquely valuable when compared to the masses of repetitive human structures that dominate much of the built environment in the United States, by looking at how their surrounding economies trend and compare to state and national averages for the U.S.

Literature Review

The following review is focused on authors who study art or architecture in a strictly economic context. I only briefly discuss the gentrification of neighborhoods that is inevitably associated with urban development. Nor do I spend much time discussing the underlying systems that allow architecture to be realized at all, such as institutional coordination, large checkbooks, and an intensely focused group of designers, engineers, investors, inhabitants and owners. The reality is that there a diversity of factors at play in any architectural development scenario, and a variety of stakeholders. To summarize the relevance of architecture to all stakeholders, and to weigh the pros and cons of architectural development at all, is beyond the scope of this paper. My focus, instead, is on assessing the works of architecture we are lucky enough to already have built in the United States, and provide context that helps describe the economic zones in which these buildings reside.

In this section, I will present research that demonstrates that there are positive externalities associated with high-amenity regions, including their role in attracting educated populations which results in higher concentrations of human capital and subsequent economic innovation, and that this cycle drives up local wages, property values, and quality of life in a regional area, resulting in a self-sustaining cycle of growth and innovation. Studies have shown that cities with high-artistic character have more established networks of artistic and creative individuals, who act as conduits for knowledge transfers across firms that result in new ideas, commercial innovation and income growth (Florida, Mellander 2009).

The body of literature analyzing the value of art is significant. There are a variety of ways an author can go about defining art, alue and societ. For the purpose of this study, I have chosen to focus on architecture because buildings have an ingrained functional use which 9 prescribes them a clearer economic context than other visual and creative arts, such as painting, sculpture or multimedia work. I view architecture as a hybrid form of art that serves a clear functional purpose as a built environment, but also a secondary purpose as a medium for creative expression. According to Fuerst, McAllister and Murray, architecture can be said to occupy a middle position between pure use value and pure aesthetic value (Fuerst et al 2011). When acquiring real estate assets designed by signature architects, investors are buying both the rights to future income streams and, what many may perceive to be, a work of art (Fuerst et al 2011).

Defining Design

The first step in discussing how design impacts regional economies is to define design clearly. According to Julier, design is the link between the circuits of production, which includes manufacture, materials, and technologies, as well as marketing, advertising and distribution, with consumption, which includes use, ownership and meaning (Julier 2000). The designer is tasked with taking the tools of production and deploying them in a satisfying way that meets the needs of consumption. Cultural economies describe regions where this interplay between production, consumption and design is recognized and celebrated (McRobbie 1999) and is characterized by locales that are innovative and adaptive. In this study, I hypothesize that cities with high concentrations of BDSA have stronger cultural economies, and should therefore expect to record more economically productive, racially diverse, and employed populations, as well as higher housing values and gross rents, when compared to state and national averages for the U.S.

Local Design Spillover

These cultural economies have been subject to analysis. A number of researchers have demonstrated that bohemian (artistic and gay) populations act as urban pioneers and that their location choices tend to result in positively appreciating housing values (Castells, 1983; Ley 10 1994; Zukin, 1995; Smith, 1996). The basic thinking reasons that locations that attract artistic populations will have amenity, authenticity and aesthetic value and thus will command a premium for their cultural amenities, neighborhood character and aesthetic quality of the housing stock. As artists and bohemians themselves produce amenities, their location will directly reflect higher levels of amenities. Thus, where artists and bohemians live can be expected to have an aesthetic amenity premium which translates into higher housing values, local wages and other positive economic indicators (Florida, Mellander 2009)

Secondly, locations with higher concentrations of artists and bohemians enjoy a tolerance, or open-culture, premium. Local economies receive a number of benefits from open- cultures, including reduced barriers to entry for human capital; increased efficiencies of knowledge spillovers; promotion of self-expression and idea generation; and decreased friction facing the mobilization of resources for entrepreneurs (Florida, Mellander 2009). In this study, I consider the presence of signature architecture to be a comparable metric to the Bohemian-Gay

Index created by Florida and Mellander, and thus a factor that contributes to the amenity and open-culture premium that appears in economically innovative societies, as is measured and described in past studies (Florida, Mellander 2009).

Design Led Urban Regeneration

Flagship buildings are premier real estate assets often located in highly visible city centers meant to visually symbolize urban growth. It is normal practice for private developers, foundations, universities, medical systems, local governments, businesses and other wealthy patrons to commission high-profile architects to design flagship buildings in city centers to spur economic and social regeneration. However, according to Bell and Jayne (2003), exactly how these buildings translate into urban regeneration is a fu concept (Bell et al 2003). According to multiple authors, there is little consensus about what strictly defines design-led urban 11 regeneration, sustainable design policy or design economy, and it is not made clear what factors must be present for successful urban regeneration.

Bilbao Case Study

It is not uncommon for flagship building efforts to turn out to be flops. However, a notable positive outcome which must be mentioned occurred in , , where Pritzker

Prize winning architect designed the Guggenheim . The positive results, as evidenced by high metrics for isitors numbers (1 million+ per year) and a resulting economic uplift due to tourism and increased media coverage, was imitated by multiple cities around the globe (Plaza 2006). According to Juan Ignacio Vidarte, the museums director, the flagship building was meant from the beginning to be a transformational project to turn around an industrial city in decline, and it did just that (Plaza 2006). But folloing the buildings unique success, a building boom around Spain was initiated, with multiple cities constructing similar, curvy contemporary buildings, which ultimately failed to spark the same regeneration. What then, was different about Bilbao? And how can its lessons be applied to the broader idea of urban regeneration through flagship architecture?

Beatriz Plaza explores these questions and notes that the case of Bilbao, while successful, should not be uncriticall replicated elsehere (Plaa 2006) due to the high risks inoled in the development project. With Bilbao specifically, much of the success can be attributed to the

Museum Directors effort to offer innoatie actiities to keep the publics interest and maintain an inflow of tourists to the area. Where variations of this factor, as well as other local conditions unrelated to the Guggenheim itself, exist, urban regeneration is more difficult to predict.

However, the author warns that such success stories should not be employed as a whitewashed justification for signature architecture or other extreme investments.

12 Economic / Financial Concepts

According to Fuerst, the equilibrium values for the future income streams of real estate assets are tied to economic fundamentals such as construction costs, demand, and cost of capital.

However, the work of architecture as art does not have the same basis for estimating equilibrium values since it is arguably immersed in a more diverse and complex system of values (Fuerst

2009). Objectively speaking, the building has a number of purely economic attributes, including development costs, construction costs, financing, leasing period, professional design fees, operating costs, utilities, maintenance, repair, occupation operating costs, rental productivity, energy efficiency, holding costs, vacancy periods, management costs, depreciation, and finally financial return associated with the buildings rent or sale alue. Hoeer, the ork of architecture also has a number of intangible attributes which can generate positive externalities.

These include the possibility that neighboring properties can command higher rents and prices due to proximity to signature architecture; a quality of exterior appearance which can generate positive spillover effects in its general vicinity by acting as a premium view for neighboring parties; and finall the pschic alue the building ma produce, hich describes the increased sense of utility from positive perceptions of the building by the local public, which may result in a higher willingness to pay to inhabit or purchase the building by occupants and investors.

Understanding Market Participants

According to Fuerst et all, 2011, there are three main categories of market participants in any architectural development: owners / investors, occupants, and neighbors. The first group is owners and investors. These parties are primarily concerned with investment performance driven by changes in capital and rental values of the developed property. The architect influences a number of factors that are relevant to the owners and investors. First, the architect can affect the development and operating costs of the building by efficiently coordinating construction crews, 13 lighting and structural engineers, electricians, plumbers and other human capital, as well as helping to plan for and navigate local zoning and building code laws. In addition, the architect can help save time and money by ensuring the construction project secures the necessary building permits and other legal clearances required through a unique local knowledge of the law, relationships with municipal agents, and the foresight necessary to design a building in such a way so that it is legal to construct and easy-to-follow the blueprints for the human capital inoled in its construction. The buildings risk premium will be influenced by all the above factors leading up to the unveiling of the building, as well as the quality of the building itself.

For investors, property class is an important consideration because each class, ranging from Class A to Class C, represents different levels of risk and return. Investors use these differences in property class types to consider how any single property fits within their overall strategy of investing, such as return objectives and the amount of risk they are willing to accept in order to achieve the returns they seek. Class A to Class C property classifications reflect different levels of risk and return because the properties are grouped into class buckets according to a combination of both geographical and physical characteristics. The letter grades that are assigned to properties consider a combination of factors, such as age of the property, location of the property, tenant income levels, growth prospects, appreciation, amenities, and rental income.

According to (Fuerst et all, 2011) a capital provider in commercial real estate markets recognizes the higher relative risk-adjusted returns from good design, described above, that would provide an incentive to allocate resources to well-designed buildings. In my own study, I do not consider property class of each building, but the majority of the buildings in my list would be considered

Class A properties (Table 2).

The second ke group of stakeholders are the buildings occupiers. In almost every built setting that is not a private residence, the occupiers of the building are primarily concerned with the relative costs of maintaining residence in the building as well as the performance of their 14 business or service within the building. The architect can create potential benefits for occupants in three primary ways. The first is by reducing the gross costs of occupying a building.

Increasingly architecture is adopting a mindset rooted in sustainable building practices, where elements of design such as energy efficiency, water capture, efficient waste management and carbon neutrality guide the design process. This is a relatively new trend in construction, arising as a response to the precipitous state of the global climate. According to architecture2030.org, a non-profit research agency, buildings generate nearly 40% of global GHG emissions and approximately two thirds of the building area that exists today will still exist in 2050. As such, it is paramount that existing building renovations and new construction are done in a way that is environmentally sustainable. Luckily for building occupiers, environmentally-sustainable buildings tend to be lower cost to maintain, due to their ability to generate electricity, conserve waste, collect and distribute water, and generally operate in a passive way that requires less electricity and general utility spending.

Second, occupiers benefit from well-designed spaces through higher productivity associated with a well-planned building, such as ease of access to the building, available work space, appropriate interior spaces to suit the needs of occupants, and various inspirational common spaces to encourage collaboration and innovation among residents. Third, occupants of these buildings gain image benefits. It is no coincidence that the buildings in this study are overwhelmingly occupied by foundations, corporations, governments and other prominent societal actors. These parties all benefit from being associated ith high-design, hich signals their ability to plan and execute for the future and consider the small details that add up to a quality work of design. By inhabiting beautiful architecture, occupants communicate to the world that they hold themselves to the same standard of work as that which underlies the very building in which they reside. 15 Finally, the third primary group of stakeholders are neighbors. These parties experience positive externalities that are generated by real estate assets designed by signature architects. It is this third group of stakeholders that drive the central research question of this thesis: What do the surrounding economies of buildings-designed-by-signature-architects look like? In one study of the local economic impact of in four U.S. neighborhoods, Sheppard finds that properties nearest to the museums in his study increase in value between 20 and 50 percent, with the effect tapering off as the distance from the museum increases (Sheppard, 2013). Sheppard accomplishes this study by creating a hedonic regression model used to study the impact of a number of factors that affect housing prices, such as the price itself, the date of sale, the geographic location, and other structure and lot characteristics.

Various authors, such as Fuerst et al, 2009, 2011 and Vandell, 1989, conducted studies that show clear rental and transaction premiums associated with office buildings designed by signature architects. These authors again choose to focus on building-specific cost data, whereas I ignore this data and focus instead on the regional economic indicators for the cities that contain the buildings themseles. These authors demonstrated that there is a quantifiable marketing

eight that architects build up oer a career of inolement ith certain high profile building projects. In one instance in 1986, world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright described his clients as paing additional costs to commission him because he as proiding a record of economic as ell as creatie achieement (Wright, 1986, page 154).

Gentrification vs. Social Good

No discussion of urban regeneration can avoid the topic of gentrification. Gentrification is the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle class taste. Flagship buildings and urban regeneration efforts often push out low-income residents and can contribute to increases in regional inequality. Pritzker Prize winning architect 16 describes on his website the key challenge of receiving a flagship commission. He states, [t]he great temptation is to build a heroic milestone hich makes ou forget the neighboring buildings

eaknesses. But that attitude ould be to use the neighbors eaknesses as an assertion.

(LACMA, 2020). One of the reasons why , another Pritzker Prize winner, is called a rare architect is his active commitment to social activities that go beyond the framework of architecture. Underling Andos, Nouels and man other Pritker architects dierse actiities is a sensitivity that seeks to involve citizens in the architecture that is created in a city, rather than further the divide between the haves and the have-nots. These architects (Table 1) stand out due to a shared philosophy of not just designing beautiful buildings, but actively working to raise the area in which they build to new heights of cultural involvement, innovation and inclusivity for all regional residents. In summary, we find in the study that the list of 509 buildings under analysis are overwhelmingly public-good buildings, primarily cultural and educational, as well as commercial spaces open to the public, healthcare facilities that serve the public, and open-air facilities that serve to protect and honor the natural identity of a place (Table 7).

17 Chapter 3 Methodology

I start by defining signature architecture as any building in the United States designed by a Pritzker Prize winning architect. While the award was first granted in 1979, the list of buildings goes back to 1942, in respect for the fact that the Pritzker prize is awarded after the architect has already completed a substantial quantity of built work. Due to the collaborative nature of the work that underlies architecture and building construction, it is impossible to assign any building to one single architect. So, while the name of the architect guides the selection of buildings in this dataset, the sample of 509 buildings is made up of (almost) every U.S. building designed by the firms of Pritzker Prize winning architects from 1979 2020 (see Table 1).

In the world of real estate development, the name of a Pritzker Prize laureate adds instant value to a building before it is built, and justifiably so. These buildings become dramatic additions to the citys by setting new standards of recognition for previously overlooked areas and serving as newfound status symbols for occupants, neighbors and building owners.

Inside the Pritzker Prize laureates' designs, one can expect to find high attention to detail, top-of- the-line appliances and finishes, and interior spaces that live up to the reputation of the building and architect. Due to the expected high qualit of Pritker laureates ork, it is safe to assume that the buildings and interiors listed in Table 2 all achieve a relatively equal level of quality design.

I then identify 170 census-designated cities that contain the 509 buildings in Table 2.

These cities are the smallest possible geographic areas that contain BDSA and are classified as census-designated areas. This ensures consistency in the availability of economic data. I then gather 13 data points for each city, as well as for each of the 37 states in which the 170 cities reside, as well as the same 13 data points for the United States overall. A summary of the key economic indicators and their reason for selection can be found immediately below. Included in 18 APPENDIX B are the precise details describing how each data point is calculated by the U.S.

Census, with text descriptions inserted directly from census.gov/quickfacts page. To stay in a reasonably focused scope, I focus this study on buildings in the U.S. market only.

After gathering the list of buildings, I create a table of the 170 cities, ranked from most

BDSA to least BDSA, and then do the same for the 37 states. After assembling the 13 data points per city and per state (not included in this study; for summaries see APPENDIX A), I take an aerage of each economic indicator, eighting each cits contribution to the aerage first b total number of BDSA, and then by population for a sanity check. I then compare these weighted averages to the same indicators for the U.S. economy as a whole (Table 5) and against the 37 states, weighted by population, in which the BDSA reside (Table 6). I also create 37 state-level data tables (APPENDIX A) which compare the BDSA-weighted average of each economic indicator for the city or cities within a given state to the overall state average. This allows me to measure the economic averages of any group of BDSA-designated cities and then compare those averages to the state economy in which the cities with BDSA reside.

I then create a table summarizing the mix of 509 BDSA classified by building type

(Table 7). Finally, I create a table summarizing the mix of 170 BDSA-designated cities by type

(Urban / Rural). I define Urban as a population per square mile greater than or equal to 1000 persons, per U.S. census methodology.

Conclusion

Summary of Results

Based on the data gathered, I find that cities with BDSA have a working-age population that is 4.71% greater than the U.S. average, and 4.21% greater than the average of the 37 states in which the cities reside. I find that cities with BDSA are 25.39% more racially diverse when compared to the U.S. average and 22.82% more diverse when compared to the average of the 37 states in which the cities reside. I find that cities with BDSA have 27.55% more renters than the national average and 26.86% more renters than the 37 states in which the cities with BDSA reside. This implies that more people in these cities are temporary residents, there primarily to work during their most economically productive years, rather than settling down, buying a home and starting a family. This makes sense, as the majority of BDSA fall within larger, younger and more mobile cities, where the residential status of city-dwellers is constantly in flux. I find that the median value of owner-occupied housing is 136.71% greater than the national average in cities with BDSA, and 95.24% greater when compared to the average of the 37 states in which the BDSA reside. I find that gross rents in cities with BDSA are 31.00% and 24.55% greater than the national average and the average of the 37 states in which the BDSA reside, respectfully.

Surprisingly, I find that cities with BDSA have slightly lower high school graduate populations, with the average for cities with BDSA coming in 1.15% lower than the national average and

0.88% lower than the 37 states in which the BDSA reside. Hoeer, hen looking at Bachelors degree holders, the results realign with my hypothesis that cities with BDSA are more highly- educated. The results sho that cities ith BDSA hae 37.76% more bachelors degree holders as a percentage of the population when compared to the national average, and 35.65% more 42 bachelors degree holders hen compared to the 37 states in hich the BDSA reside. I find that median household incomes in cities with BDSA are 13.03% and 9.37% greater than the national average and the average of the 37 states in which the BDSA reside, respectfully. I find that the average per-capita income in cities with BDSA is 26.91% higher than the national average, and

25.38% higher than the average of the 37 states in which the BDSA reside. Unsurprisingly, I find that the poverty rates for cities with BDSA are higher by 42.78% and 29.70% than the national and 37 state averages. This is primarily due to the fact that BDSA are concentrated in higher- population-density regions of the United States, where there is significantly more wealth than average, but also greater levels of income inequality. Confirming this last point in the data, I find that cities with BDSA are 112 times more densely populated than the national average and 34 times more densely populated than the average of the 37 states in which the BDSA reside.

I also find that the majority of BDSA are cultural institutions, primarily museums, or educational facilities, primarily student dormitories and campus research buildings. This is an encouraging finding because it implies that a large percentage of BDSA in the United States are open and accessible to the public to enjoy and for young people to be exposed to during their high school and undergraduate experience (Table 7). A significant force in shifting peoples behaior towards being more thoughtful and appreciative of design is by repeatedly exposing them to quality design. Thankfully, the majority of buildings in this study are located in urban areas, meaning a large number of people can easily view the exterior (and often interior) of the buildings in this study (Table 8).

Implications

The results of this study imply that cities with higher concentrations of signature architecture tend to be more economically productive, more racially diverse, more employed, higher earning, higher-renting, denser and more unequal than the average for the country and the

37 states in which the cities with BDSA reside. The primary goal of this paper is to describe the 43 average economic environment that surrounds BDSA, and it is now clear that cities with BDSA are generally more economically vibrant zones. This strengthens the argument that the local design spillover effect is real, and that there may be intangible, positive externalities given off by well-designed locales that result in higher levels of economic participation and productivity.

The results of this study suggest that growing cities may find an increasing number of signature buildings appear in lockstep with economic growth, partly funded by the local wealth that is being created, and partly spurring further innovation and collaboration that will lead to more wealth and economic growth down the line. These architectural environments may encourage unconventional creativity and further attract more adventurous, open-minded and educated populations who enjoy the aesthetic and cultural amenity premiums associated with living in a well-designed city. Of course, any one building makes up but a small percentage of the total real estate of any MSA in this study. However, the presence of even one BDSA in an MSA sends an important message about the values and priorities of that city. While a city might currently have only one BDSA, it can be observed that cities such as New York, Los Angeles,

Philadelphia and D.C. have accumulated large numbers of BDSA over time, and continue to experience economically-vibrant local conditions. The buildings highlighted in this study communicate to inhabitants, neighbors and passerbs that ecellence is attainable, and that they can indeed be different. They act as beacons of light in otherwise repetitive built environments, and their natural tendency to stick around and stay occupied acts as a constant positive reminder that stays visible to the city inhabitants. Further, the results of this analysis strengthen the argument that educated people, clustered together, can make an area unbelievably rich and productive, which results in the arrival of world-class architecture to support their needs.

According to (Landry, 1995), a high proportion of regional and local development organizations in the UK stress cultural factors in their locational marketing. For the cities in the list, there is a clear case to be made in marketing the the local architectural environment as an 44 important factor in attracting new residents. For cities without BDSA, the positive results of this study may encourage developers, municipal directors and other involved parties to coordinate signature architecture developments to try and contribute to an urban regeneration effort through the gradual refinement of the locally-built environment.

What past papers demonstrate is that there is a clear economic effect that appears alongside architectural marketing weight. However, by focusing only on house prices, past studies capture more of a look-at-me premium that might falsely inflate local values. What other authors missed is the economic value capture that is reflected in a broader range of indicators that describe the local economy, rather than the building itself. The results of this study suggest that there is an economic case to be made for commissioning a high-profile architect compared to a local architect when developers consider the added value of a more vibrant regional economy.

Further Research

The primary value offered by this paper is the assembly of a large data set of BDSA in the United States. The quantitative summary laid out in this paper is relatively simple, rudimentary at best. My hope is that future researchers will take the large dataset which I have collected for this study and more intelligently and rigorously apply statistical analysis to the data in order to gather more prescient insights. For example, after eliminating outlier cities such as

New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Chicago from the list, where the difference between BDSA-weighted and population-weighted statistics is 1.50% or greater, a researcher might determine whether the results are robust with respect to outliers. Finally, I have assembled a substantial bibliography of sources related to the topic of this paper, which should hopefully act as a useful jumping off point for another future researcher interested in this or a related topic. 45

Economic Indicators Used in This Study

All Descriptions Pasted directly from (census.gov/quickfacts)

Average Population

All persons who are "usually resident" in a specified geographic area. For the United States, the resident population includes all persons who usually reside in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, but excludes residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the Island areas under U.S. sovereignty or jurisdiction (principally American Samoa, Guam, United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). In addition, the U.S. resident population excludes U.S. Armed Forces overseas and civilian U.S. citizens whose usual place of residence is outside the United States.

Persons under 18 years, percent

Age estimates of the population are produced for places, zona urbanas and comunidades (place- equivalents for Puerto Rico), and minor civil divisions. Data on age are used to determine the applicability of other questions for a particular individual and to classify other characteristics in tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social and economic characteristics used to plan and analyze programs and policies.

Persons 65 years and over, percent

Age estimates of the population are produced for places, zona urbanas and comunidades (place- equivalents for Puerto Rico), and minor civil divisions. Data on age are used to determine the applicability of other questions for a particular individual and to classify other characteristics in tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social and economic characteristics used to plan and analyze programs and policies. 65

White alone, percent

The U.S. Census Bureau collects race data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of

Management and Budget (OMB), and these data are based on self-identification. The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. In addition, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include racial and national origin or sociocultural groups.

People may choose to report more than one race to indicate their racial mixture, such as "American

Indian" and "White." People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race.

White is defined as a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or

North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish,

German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.

Owner-occupied housing unit rate, 2014 – 2018

A housing unit is owner-occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit, even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire.

The unit is "Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan" if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit also is considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loan balances also are included in this category. For the complete definition, go to ACS subject definitions "Tenure." The homeownership rate is computed by dividing the number of owner-occupied housing units by the number of occupied housing units or households. This Fact is based on data collected in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed 66 each year over a 12-month period. This Fact (estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection.

Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2014 – 2018

Value is the respondent's estimate of how much the property (house and lot) would sell for if it were for sale. This tabulation includes only specified owner-occupied housing units--one-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. These data exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit structures. Certain tabulations elsewhere include the value of all owner-occupied housing units and vacant-for-sale housing units. Also available are data on mortgage status and selected monthly owner costs. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot) and one-half above the median. Median value calculations are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. This Fact is based on data collected in the

American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed each year over a 12-month period. This Fact (estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection.

Median Gross Rent, 2014 – 2018

Gross rent provides information on the monthly housing cost expenses for renters. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the 67 inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of water and sewer, and fuels are reported on a 12-month basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of rent are shown separately as "No rent paid" in the tabulations For the complete definition, go to ACS subject definitions "Gross Rent." This Fact is based on data collected in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed each year over a 12-month period. This Fact (estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection.

High school graduate or higher, percent of persons age 25+ years, 2014 – 2018

High School Graduates include people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received an associate's, bachelor's, master's, or professional or doctorate degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not included. These data include only persons 25 years old and over. The percentages are obtained by dividing the counts of graduates by the total number of persons 25 years old and over. This Fact is based on data collected in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto

Rico Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed each year over a 12-month period. This Fact (estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection.

Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+ years, 2014 – 2018

Persons with a Bachelor's Degree or Higher are those who have received a bachelor's degree from a college or university, or a master's, professional, or doctorate degree. For the complete definition, go 68 to ACS subject definitions "Educational Attainment." These data include only persons 25 years old and over. The percentages are obtained by dividing the counts of graduates by the total number of persons 25 years old and over. This Fact is based on data collected in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed each year over a 12-month period. This Fact

(estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection.

In civilian labor force, total, percent of population age 16+ years, 2014 – 2018

Civilian Labor Force consists of people classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described below. Employed - This category includes all civilians 16 years old and over who either

(1) were "at work," that is, those who did any work at all during the reference week as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession, worked on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a family farm or in a family business; or (2) were "with a job but not at work," that is, those who did not work during the reference week but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, industrial dispute, vacation, or other personal reasons.

Excluded from the employed are people whose only activity consisted of work around the house or unpaid volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations; also excluded are all institutionalized people and people on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. For the complete definition, go to ACS subject definitions "Employment Status." This Fact is based on data collected in the

American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed each year over a 12-month period. This Fact (estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection. 69

Median household income (in 2018 dollars), 2014 – 2018

Income in the Past 12 Months - Income of Households: This includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. Because many households consist of only one person, average household income is usually less than average family income. Although the household income statistics cover the past 12 months, the characteristics of individuals and the composition of households refer to the time of interview. Thus, the income of the household does not include amounts received by individuals who were members of the household during all or part of the past 12 months if these individuals no longer resided in the household at the time of interview. Similarly, income amounts reported by individuals who did not reside in the household during the past 12 months but who were members of the household at the time of interview are included. However, the composition of most households was the same during the past 12 months as at the time of interview. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households and families, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households and families including those with no income. The median income for individuals is based on individuals 15 years old and over with income.

Median income for households, families, and individuals is computed on the basis of a standard distribution. For the complete definition, go to ACS subject definitions "Income in the Past 12 Months."

This Fact is based on data collected in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico

Community Survey (PRCS) conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. A sample of over 3.5 million housing unit addresses is interviewed each year over a 12-month period. This Fact (estimate) is based on five years of ACS and PRCS sample data and describes the average value of person, household and housing unit characteristics over this period of collection.

Per capita income in past 12 months (in 2018 dollars), 2014 – 2018 70 Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group including those living in group quarters. It is derived by dividing the aggregate income of a particular group by the total population in that group. This measure is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. For the complete definition, go to ACS subject definitions "Income in the Past 12 Months, Per Capita Income."

Persons in poverty, percent

How the Census Bureau measures poverty: The Census Bureau poverty definition - Following the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Statistical Policy Directive 14, the Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. If a family's total income is less than the family's threshold, then that family and every individual in it is considered in poverty. The official poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated for inflation using Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The official poverty definition uses money income before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and food stamps). For more information: How the Census Bureau Measures Poverty Data at a national level -

Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC); Data at a state level -

Population per square mile, 2010 71 Land area - an area measurement providing the size, in square meters, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundar recorded for each entit in the Census Bureaus geographic database (see "MAF/TIGER

Database"). The Census Bureau provides area measurement data for both land area and water area. The water area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of an lake, reseroir, pond, or similar bod of ater that is recorded in the Census Bureaus geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two-dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embaments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great

Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across.

Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions. Land area measurements are originally recorded as whole square meters (to convert square meters to square kilometers, divide by

1,000,000; to convert square kilometers to square miles, divide by 2.58999; to convert square meters to square miles, divide by 2,589,988). Persons per square mile - population and housing unit density are computed by dividing the total population or number of housing units within a geographic entity by the land area of that entity measured in square miles or in square kilometers. Density is expressed as

"population per square mile (kilometer)" or "housing units per square mile (kilometer)." To determine population per square kilometer, multiply the population per square mile by .3861.
