The American Institute of Architects (AIA) named the 178 newest members and eight honorary members of the Institute’s College of Fellows, a recognition bestowed to individuals who have been a “significant” influence on architecture. Only about 3 percent of the AIA’s total membership have received this designation.
To qualify, architects must have been AIA members for at least a decade, and are nominated under one of five categories:
- Promoted the aesthetic, scientific, and practical efficiency of the profession
- Advanced the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of architectural education, training or practice
- Coordinated the building industry and the profession of architecture through leadership in the AIA or other related professional organizations
- Advanced the living standards of people through an improved environment
- Made the profession of ever-increasing service to society
