AIA College of Fellows Latrobe Prize
The Latrobe Prize is a biennial $100,000 award from the AIA College of Fellows to support a two-year program of research. The grant, named for architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, is awarded for research leading to significant advances in the architecture profession.

- Second Stage: Invited submission only for an in person interview with the jury
Buildings ∩ Planetary Health and Human Health
Proposals for the 2022 Latrobe Prize should aim to explore positive outcomes for people, communities, and the planet resulting from architectural design excellence.
