I am extremely honored to be the recipient of this years Lifetime Achievement Award, said Art Danielian, FAIA. The USC School of Architecture, Professors, and Deans truly shaped my career and my passion for the built environment.

Art received his bachelors degree from the USC School of Architecture in 1963. Opting to specialize in residential housing, he became a true pioneer in the field by integrating market research and the principles of market-driven design into his architecture and planning studio. He went on to introduce many residential design innovations throughout the course of his career, including the wide and shallow lot concept and combo-condos.
