We are thrilled to share that Daniel Joseph Chenin, FAIA has been elevated to the AIA College of Fellows—a distinction that recognizes architects who have made a significant and lasting impact on the profession. This honor is one of the highest within the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and is granted to individuals whose work has advanced architecture and society on a national level.

What makes this achievement even more meaningful is that Daniel is the first alumnus of the UNLV School of Architecture to be elevated to Fellowship—a milestone not only for him but for the entire UNLV architectural community.

Daniel’s career has been defined by his dedication to design excellence, his commitment to mentoring the next generation of architects, and his ability to create immersive, experiential environments that leave a lasting impact. This recognition underscores the ethos that has driven his work: architecture as a vehicle for storytelling, innovation, and human connection.

A heartfelt thank you to the colleagues, clients, and mentors who have supported this journey. Here’s to pushing boundaries and shaping the future of design!
