Andrew Cupples
DLR Group announced that Justice+Civic Design Leader Andrew Cupples, FAIA, was recently elevated to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) College of Fellows. Fellowship is one of the highest honors that the AIA awards, celebrating AIA members who have made significant contributions to the profession and to society, who exemplify architectural excellence and whose work has profoundly influenced the built environment. Cupples works from DLR Group’s Los Angeles office. He joined DLR Group in 2012 and has been in practice for 42 years. Cupples’ work has inspired a new wave of understanding that better conditions for the incarcerated lead to better outcomes for the inmates and, in the long run, for society. Cupples will receive the Fellowship medal during the Investiture of Fellows Ceremony at the AIA Conference on Architecture 2018 in New York City on June 22.
