    I'm looking for examples of recent stories in the news about the opening of a building, with the architect(s) never getting mentioned. 

    The news story doesn't have to be specifically about a new building opening, but the main theme of the news piece does have to be about the building.

    We are working to create some tools to combat this sort of poor journalism. Please send me the links to these kinds of stories. 

    thanks,

    Hi Matthew,
    Here is a link to an article written about a middle school that my firm, Dake Wells Architecture, is designing. We also created the renderings and site plan shown in the article's video.

    I hope this is a helpful example. Thank you for looking into this aspect of architecture media relations.
