The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has named the 2025 Class of Fellows. Elevating architects who exemplify architectural excellence, the College of Fellows is AIA’s highest membership honor.
AIA Fellows are recognized for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society. Founded in 1952, the AIA College of Fellows seeks to stimulate a sharing of interests among Fellows, promote the purposes of AIA, advance the profession of architecture, mentor young architects, and be of ever-increasing service to society. Less than 3% of AIA members hold the prestigious FAIA designation.
Each year when candidates apply to be Fellows, the jury considers how they have shown distinction in the context of their object, in relation to AIA’s values, and whether their work has had a ripple effect.
The objects of nomination are essentially the award categories candidates apply under, and each object has specific criteria and requirements associated with it. Learn more about the object categories here.
