Sort by Weight
The architect's weight depends on the number and weight of the references given to that architect by other architects. The references generally measure what has contributed to the profession.
The weight is calculated by running iterations, because an architect cannot receive a reference from somebody until they have given that person their own reference, which will raise or lower the value of the reference they are receiving.
The ranking is not precise enough to matter, except to show which 50 or 100 architects are valuable to study.
