Congratulations to Peter Cook for his induction into the American Institute of Architect’s (AIA) College of Fellows. The AIA’s highest and most selective membership honor is bestowed upon architects who have made significant contributions to the profession—and society—through design excellence. Only 3% of AIA members have earned this distinction. Peter is being recognized specifically for his design leadership on projects that have had a deep impact on the communities he serves.
In 2021, Cook was named to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts by President Biden. He is a member of the National Organization of Minority Architects and his projects have been celebrated in a wide variety of national awards, publications and exhibitions. Cook has given numerous keynotes and lectures at museum, cultural, academic, and architectural institutions throughout the country. He has served on the Maryland Empowerment Council, the Mayor’s Institute of City Design, the GSA Design Excellence Committee, and the State of Maryland Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Commission.
