The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has granted Honorary AIA Membership to six people for their exemplary service to the architecture profession. The honorary members are:
- Zurich Esposito, Hon. AIA
- Nadav Malin, Hon. AIA
- Nancy A. Nasher, Hon. AIA
- David J.Haemisegger, Hon. AIA
- Joseph Simonetta, Hon. AIA
- Julie D. Taylor, Hon. AIA
Honorary AIA Membership is conferred upon people that have made notable contributions to the advancement of the architecture profession but are not otherwise eligible for AIA membership. In order to be considered for honorary membership, a person must meet all of the criteria to be eligible and be nominated by either Members of the AIA Board of Directors, Strategic Council, chapters, or Knowledge Communities. Nominations are then reviewed and decided by a jury. The recipients this year were selected by a three-person jury.
Complete details of each recipients’ contributions can be reviewed on the AIA website. In June, AIA will celebrate the honorary members at its Conference on Architecture 2018 in New York City.
