The 2017 World Architecture 100 list ranks the world's top architecture firms by the number of fee-earning architects they employ.

Australia has six firms ranked in the top 100 list, which was compiled from a survey of 1,400 architecture practices from all over the world.

Woods Bagot is the largest practice in Australia, ranking 7th, followed by Bates Smart which was 45th. Other firms in the top 100 are Buchan Group (55th), GHD Woodhead (71st), Architectus (97th), and Hames Sharley (100th).
