Which architecture school is the most respected? Which is the most innovative? Which is the best?

Every year, DesignIntelligence conducts an extensive survey for the Design Futures Council, seeking to identify the most successful architecture schools in the United States. Hundreds of architects, architecture professors, and architecture organizations contribute to the hefty report, which includes charts, graphs, statistics, analysis, and school rankings.

Mind you, school rankings can't tell you which college is best for your own particular interests and needs. You'll want to visit prospective schools and talk with students and graduates. Then, weigh your observations with this fact-packed report.
