Testimonials

  • “Beyond her tremendous insight into the process of submitting for Fellowship, Rebecca’s incredible understanding of the many paths architects take in practice brings to light the full value and meaning of our work.”

    —Kristi Hanson, FAIA, Kristi Hanson Architects, Palm Desert, California

  • “This is an incredible book, beautifully articulated. Without a doubt, essential reading even for those not pursuing Fellowship. So much more than a step-by-step primer for FAIA applicants, it’s also a writing coach and decades of Fellowship-winning experience all in one. My review, however, may be too modest. When accused of being arrogant, Frank Lloyd Wright said, “It is better to have honest arrogance than to have false humility.” When you are good, you have to own it. While this author may hesitate, I’m more than willing to toot this book’s horn.”

    —Turan Duda, FAIA
    Duda | Paine Architects, Durham, North Carolina

  • “This book is awesome! While the author mentioned much of this in our working together, it was helpful to have the information in one place to ensure I was following all the rules. I recommend this guidebook as a must have for everyone, whether they are applying for FAIA or just want to become stronger writers. Basic writing intel—invaluable. Congratulations!!”

    —Kathleen Lechleiter, AIA

  • “The process outlined in Architect + Action = Result is required reading for those applying for Fellowship.  The guidance explaining how architects tell their story is essential for the jury to fully understand our work and its impact in the world.”

    —Douglas Teiger, FAIA
    Teiger Consulting, Los Angeles, California

  • "This book is invaluable for all architects whether they seek Fellowship or simply want to improve their ability to write meaningfully about their work. It also includes invaluable knowledge of writing “dos & don’ts.” Highly recommended!

    —John Klai, FAIA & Jon Sparer, FAIA
    AIA Nevada Silver Medal Winners, Las Vegas, Nevada

  • “This book makes the rigorous path to Fellowship your reality to find and establish your architecture career’s impactful thread in becoming a Fellow. In this introspective process, you will discover the unique and enlightened voice deep inside your life’s works. For me, articulating my distinct professional theme(s) created while affecting lives and communities almost eclipsed the joy of placing FAIA behind my name. Architect + Action = Result is the Bible for elevation into the American Institute of Architects’ esteemed College of Fellows.”

    — Lou Jurkowski, FAIA Emeritus
