The American Institute of Architects grants its Architecture Firm Award, the highest honor the AIA can bestow on a firm, annually to an architecture firm for consistently producing distinguished architecture. Eligible firms must claim collaboration within the practice as a hallmark of their methodology and must have been producing work as an entity for at least 10 years.
