NEW ORLEANS – The 2016 Jury of Fellows from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) elevated 149 AIA members to its prestigious College of Fellows, including Mark Ripple of Eskew+Dumez+Ripple. Out of a total AIA membership of over 88,000 there are over 3,200 members distinguished with this honor.
Eskew+Dumez+Ripple’s Ripple is the only FAIA from Louisiana this year to be honored.
The Fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession.
Election to fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of architects as individuals, but also their significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.
The 2016 Fellows will be honored at an investiture ceremony at the 2016 National AIA Convention and Ripple will be honored at the AIA / NOAF Design Awards on March 31.
