The College of Fellows, founded in 1952, is composed of members of the American Institute of Architects who are elevated to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member; this list represents individuals who were members of AIANY at the time of their investiture. Fellowship recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual and elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society in one of five categories:
Object One: Design, urban design, or preservation
Object Two: Practice management, or practice technical advancement
Object Three: Led the Institute, or a related organization
Object Four: Public service, government, industry, or organization
Object Five: Alternative career, volunteer work with organizations not directly connected with the built environment, or service to society
Object Six: Education, research, literature
