John Mott, FAIA Receives Parker Westbrook Award for Lifetime Achievement

Congratulations (once again!) to John Mott, FAIA for receiving the 2022 Parker Westbrook Award for Lifetime Achievement by Preserve Arkansas — a nonprofit focused on preserving Arkansas’ most treasured architectural resources.

Born and raised in Arkansas — John has been a pillar of the preservation community not only in his home state, but throughout the country. His prolific work and deep knowledge of architecture, preservation, and culture has made him a trusted leader 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.

If you ever have an opportunity to speak with John, simply ask him to share a story or two. His anecdotes are quite noteworthy!
