Thomas Robinson, FAIA, founding principal of LEVER Architecture, was one of 83 member-architects and 10 international nonmember architects to be elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects during the organization’s recent Conference on Architecture & Design in Boston. The College of Fellows, established in 1952, is the AIA’s highest membership honor. The designation is granted to fewer than 3% of members, recognizing architects who have made significant contributions to the profession and have demonstrated excellence and leadership on a national level.
Prior to founding LEVER, Robinson was a principal at Allied Works Architecture as well as a senior project architect at Herzog & de Meuron. He earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture with honors from University of California, Berkeley, and completed his master’s degree in architecture with distinction from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Through his leadership, LEVER has become recognized for its innovation work with Cross-Laminated Timber. His recent projects include 843 N Spring Street, slated to be one of the largest mass timber buildings in Los Angeles, as well as first-of-their-kind timber buildings for clients such as Portland State University, The Nature Conservancy, Meyer Memorial Trust.
