- New Generation Leader, honoring an architect who is rising in the profession: Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang
- Innovator, honoring an architect who has made a mark in innovative design, materials or building type: Sheila Kennedy of Kennedy & Violich Architecture
- Activist, honoring an architect who has used her skills to design for social change, effect the public realm or perform pro bono work:...
