Foster, whose 2014 projects include an Apple store in Istanbul and a winning design for an airport in Mexico City, called the title “a great honor.” Among the top five are Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron, international firm Gensler, the offices of Italian architect Renzo Piano and Denmark’s Bjarke Ingels Group.
