Amidst colleagues, friends and family, Principal Rick Schneider and the new fellows will walk the processional that signifies their entry into fellowship. The ceremony recognizes the Fellows for their significant contributions to architecture and society nationally, and for consistently achieving excellence in the profession.

Rick has been practicing architecture for over 30 years. He founded ISTUDIO architects in 1999 on the principle of bringing sustainable and beautiful architecture to everyone. To this day, Rick honors this commitment in everything he does from building equitable spaces to passing on his knowledge and passions to the next generation of architects. Today we celebrate Rick's commitments to the architectural community as he enters the AIA College of Fellows.
AIA Fellows are recognized with the AIA’s highest membership honor for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society.
Architects who have made significant contributions to the profession and society and who exemplify architectural excellence can become a member of the AIA College of Fellows. Only 3 percent of the AIA members have this distinction.
