Southland Architects Receive AIA Honors

Eleven Southern California architects have been named to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architect in recognition of significant contributions to the profession.

The 1994 fellows, honored at the AIA’s convention in Los Angeles, are:

Edward C. Friedrichs, Frederic P. Lyman, John V. Mutlow, Victor A. Regnier, Ted Tokio Tanaka, James Leslie Tyler, Robert H. Uyeda and Harold Louis Williams, all of Los Angeles; and Brian Paul Dougherty, Newport Beach; Dan Heinfeld, Irvine, and Arthur V. Strock, Newport Beach.

With the elevation of Regnier, the dean of the USC School of Architecture, and Mutlow, a professor there, one-quarter of the full-time USC faculty are AIA fellows. No other school of architecture in the country has more faculty who are fellows, a USC spokeswoman said.

The AIA also named three honorary members from the Los Angeles area. They are Janice Axon, executive director of the AIA’s L.A. chapter from 1981 to 1987; Elaine Sewell Jones, a public relations counselor, and landscape architect Emmet Wemple.
