  What Does It Take to Become FAIA? (Hybrid Presentation)
  8:30 am–10:30 am
  Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place, New York, NY 10012 [Webinar Option]

  The national AIA College of Fellows is composed of members of the Institute who are elected to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA bestows upon a member (only the Gold Medal is higher). Advancement to Fellowship recognizes the significant achievement of individuals in design, preservation, education, literature, and service. Architects who have made significant contributions to the profession and society are awarded this distinction.

  Architects who have been AIA members for 10 or more years are eligible for consideration. The process of achieving Fellowship is a rewarding self-reflection procedure and promotes reconnection with those who have shared a meaningful part of your career. The attainment of Fellowship communicates to your peers and the public that you have made significant contributions to our society as a member of the profession.

  This event will answer general questions about the Fellows nomination and application process, including assessing whether one is prepared, identifying the proper category, and reviewing the application timeline. We’ll also cover details about what is expected for securing your chapter’s nomination and offer an opportunity to ask questions to the members of the 2026 AIANY Fellows Committee.

  More Architecture Please: How New Medical Facilities Guidelines Call for More Robust Spatial Articulation
  6:30 pm–8:30 pm

  AIA CEU’s pending

  Remember that colleague who swore off medical facilities since there was “no architecture,” except the lobby and maybe the building envelope. The technical requirements of healthcare facilities have historically been so intense that little attention was paid to the spaces created.

  No more.  See how newly published building codes for hospitals recognize that the quality of spaces within medical facilities have measurable positive effects on the health of patients.  This workshop breaks down several hundred pages of hospital codes into easily understood concepts to make the design of hospital and healthcare spaces accessible to more architects without a “healthcare specialty.”
