Fellowship

The AIA College of Fellows seeks to stimulate a sharing of interests among Fellows, promote the purposes of the Institute, advance the profession of architecture, mentor young architects, and be of ever-increasing service to society. The College of Fellows, founded in 1952, is composed of members of the Institute who are elected to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society.

Becoming a Fellow

As Fellows, we are recognized as the leaders

  • The ones who seize the opportunity to be mentors to the next generation.
  • The ones who elevate the profession through our vision.
  • We are the ones who represent the values, support the development, and encourage the sustainability of the practice of architecture.
  • We are the doers.
  • We are the difference.
