Fellowship in the American Institute of Architects recognizes those who have made significant contributions to architecture and society on a national level. It is among the Institute’s highest honors and one that only about 3% of the membership of AIA ever achieve. On Thursday, August 22, 2019, AIA Dallas hosted their annual Fellows Dinner where the current class of newly-elevated Fellows are recognized.
Norman Alston, FAIA, is honored to be counted among his colleagues who received this distinction in 2019.

NORMAN ALSTON architects
For the past 30 years, Norman Alston Architects has shown the possibilities that are available when important historic buildings and sites are thoughtfully preserved and equipped for modern, productive use. The firm has completed successful, award-winning restorations, renovations, and additions by demonstrating that preservation is economically advantageous, environmentally responsible and culturally invigorating. Our projects are often catalysts for redevelopment of the surrounding community. Successful projects range from important large structures in large urban areas to numerous small projects in rural communities where professional skills in historic preservation are often assumed to be unavailable.
