Part of a great list of talented folks! Or, as Architizer puts it, “… leaders who are bringing forward-looking architecture to the public today, either through their extraordinary designs, built projects, or imagery. Here is the list!

Chairing the Honorary AIA Fellows (HFAIA) group, part of the Committee on Design of the American Institute of Architects, comes with the privilege and responsibility to select, nominate, and endorse architects who have proven significant contributions to the advancement of the art and science of architecture. Good Luck and off to the jury - Tatiana Bilbao, Kerstin Thompson, Jun’ya Ishigami, Li Hu.

UPDATE: The Class of 2025 has been announced. Congratulations!

DH was recently invited to a week-long filming session to do a masterclass on architectural drawing with a great publisher, Domestika. The set the crew built around my work was a hit. More impressive was the scriptwriter, who summarized my activity in just a few short paragraphs (5-minute reading on my end). Part of the filming was done in the street – The Flatiron District and Chelsea area in Manhattan, so the class will discuss my approach to urban architectural drawing based on local street settings.

The class will be titled “Draw Like An Architect: Urban Architectural Sketching with Ink”. This will be a 3-hour class/discussion of the why and the how of architectural drawing, and will be translated into eight languages for the international audience, to be released at the end of 2022.

I’ve been giving lectures with the American Institute of Architects on the Architectural Registration Exams (ARE) – the basis and prerequisites to obtain an architectural license in the US.

The sessions will cover Project Planning and Project Development and Documentation.

What’s the purpose of a license? Is it worth the 10+ year effort? I was asked this multiple times by my students or recent graduates. There is no question in my mind. DO IT!
