Latrobe Prize (AIA College of Fellows) - $150,000 biennial research award

About this program

American Institute of Architects College of Fellows Fund offers the Latrobe Prize, a biennial $150,000 award to support a two‑year research program that yields significant advances in the architecture profession. The 2025 prize funded a team investigating smog‑eating facade panels to improve public health, illustrating the award’s focus on built‑environment interventions with measurable community benefits. Applicants must propose work that connects the built environment to human health both theoretically and practically and that emphasizes architects’ roles in improving community health through design. The next call for submissions is expected to open in Spring 2027.
