AIA Fellowship

The American Institute of Architects bestows the recognition of Fellowship for achievement in architecture on members who have contributed notably to the advancement of the profession of architecture. With the exception of the Gold Medal, Fellowship is the highest national honor the AIA can bestow on a member.

It is conferred on members with at least 10 years of continuous membership who have made significant contributions to the aesthetic, scientific, and practical efficiency of the profession; to the standards of architectural education, training, and practice; to the building industry through the leadership of the AIA and other related professional organizations; to the advancement of the living standards of people through their improved environment and to society through significant public service.

The College of Fellows includes approximately three percent of the total AIA membership. Those elevated to fellowship may use “FAIA” after their names in recognition of their contributions in design, education, research or public service.

AIA Pennsylvania encourages the recognition of member achievements from across Pennsylvania through the recruitment and support of potential candidates for Fellowship.
