The American Institute of Architects selected 13 architects who are demonstrating “exceptional leadership” and making significant contributions early in their careers as recipients for the 2012 AIA Young Architects Award.
“Young Architects” are defined as professionals who have been licensed 10 years or fewer, regardless of their age, AIA said.
The awards will be presented at the AIA 2012 National Convention and Design Exposition in Washington, D.C.
A list of those honored and a short description of their work by AIA follow. More information is available by clicking on the names.
