Every year, the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles Chapter recognizes individuals, firms, practitioners, and advocates that demonstrate the transformative nature of architecture. The Presidential Honoree program, as it is called, distinguishes those whose passion, talent, and dedication has made an undeniable contribution, improving upon the region, city, community and lives of residents in Los Angeles. This year, the program honors a life long builder whose beginnings include collaboration with the esteemed Louis Kahn, a developer who is redefining how Angelenos view supportive housing, and a writer who communicates her passion for the design process to deepen the public’s understanding of architecture, among many others.
AIA|LA President, Douglas Teiger spoke of this year's awards, noting that "we bestow the 2017 AIA|LA Presidential Honoree awards at time when some of the region’s most pressing challenges call on the role of the architect. This year’s recipients demonstrate our core values as a field, how we as a profession may serve both individual client and society as a whole, in addition to the value of design excellence.”
With that, the 2017 President Honoree recipients are:
