Old news but worth sharing...
My dear friend and mentor Solano was bestowed one of the highest honors when selected by the AIA (American Institute of Architects) to be Honorary FAIA in 2012.
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 international level.
