The Institute Honors for Collaborative and Professional Achievement, as well as Honorary AIA membership, recognize individuals and teams for their excellent work and service to the profession. Honorees come from many sources and at varying career stages—from those just beginning to those with many years of experience—and from those outside the profession to those who practice within it. What they share is a dedication to the practice of architecture.

It is through the recognition of excellence and distinguished service that we promote the value of the profession as a whole. Please help us recognize the efforts of your peers.

Each category’s Web page contains a 'Submission Preview' to assist you with the process.
