Practicing ArchitectureAwards

The AIA Fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Election to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual, but also honors before the public and the profession a model architect who has made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.

Submissions

The deadline for the 2013 program has passed.

The 2014 information will be posted in the summer of 2013. Until that time we encourage you to use the “2013 Fellowship Walk Through” as a guideline.

Eligibility

Architect members who have been in good standing for at least 10 years may be nominated for Fellowship. Architect members may be advanced to Fellowship under guidelines set by the Board if they have contributed notably to the advancement of the profession of architecture.

The nominee must have completed 10 cumulative years as an AIA architect member prior to the nomination deadline (i.e., 10 years prior to October 19, 2012). If uncertainties exist about the period of membership, and after consulting with the local chapter, please contact Membership History to verify the nominee’s eligibility before preparing the submission.

FAIA Roundtable Q&A Webinar Session

The Honors and Awards staff will host a final Q&A session to help “demystify” the Fellowship submission process. This session is scheduled for October 4 and will begin at 1:00 pm, Eastern Time. Call in information will be provided closer to the time of the session. While specific questions about individual submissions cannot be addressed, a general understanding of the jury and submission process, what the jury looks for, resources available, and much more are open for discussion.
