John Mott, FAIA Receives Honors and Lifetime Achievement Awards

John K. Mott, FAIA | Preservation Architect

On Friday, November 4th, we gathered at AIA Virginia’s annual Visions for Architecture Honors and Awards Gala to celebrate the accomplishments of our very own Director of Preservation, John Mott, FAIA. As the 2022 recipient of the Award for Distinguished Achievement, John received a well-earned standing ovation from all in attendance — including his peers, mentees and clients.

Through his prolific work in historic preservation for over 50 years, John has been the trusted leader for preserving many of our nation’s architectural historic treasures. His deep knowledge of architecture, preservation, and culture has made him a pillar in the community through mentoring, writing, speaking, and serving on boards of national and local institutions. We would be remiss to not mention, that of the 200+ preservation projects John has led, 85 are either National Landmark or National Register buildings. Of these projects, 40 have won local, state, or national design awards.

Lastly, we are looking forward to celebrating more of John’s achievements in January at the Preserve Arkansas Awards Ceremony.

Stay tuned!
