The American Institute of Architects has named Edward Mazria, FAIA, as the 2021 AIA Gold Medal winner, recognizing the outstanding efforts of the Santa Fe, N.M.–based Architecture 2030 founder to raise awareness about the role of the built environment in climate change among the design and construction industries, political leaders, and the general public.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., the architect attended Pratt Institute before spurning a draft pick from the New York Knicks to join the Peace Corps in 1964. Following his service assignment in Peru, Mazria returned to New York to join Edward Larrabee Barnes’s office. He pursued advanced studies at the University of New Mexico and then taught at the University of Oregon, where he focused on solar energy research and authored the best-selling publication

Washington, who emerged from slavery to become one of the leading African American intellectuals around the turn of the 20th century, had ties to Charlottesville that eventually led to a city park being named after him.
A new connection between Washington and this area will be forged virtually via the University of Virginia Press’ electronic imprint, Rotunda, which has acquired “The Booker T. Washington Papers” to create a digital edition.
Washington – an author, pioneer in higher education, adviser to presidents and business leaders, and a pillar in the emerging Black elite and middle class – helped conceive a future for an educated, prosperous Black society in the wake of emancipation and Reconstruction. His views and ideas were not without controversy, however.
