The AIA’s Architecture Billings Index—the profession’s rough measure of
monthly architectural output—hit the lowest level in its 13-year history
in March, according to numbers released yesterday by the institute. The
index continued a slide that began in January, which bodes ill for the
architectural economy and the construction sector as a whole, because
the design phase is generally first in the building process. Inquiries
for new design projects also hit a record low.
