Happy birthday to the one and only Peter Exley—architect extraordinaire, playful innovator, and breaker of boredom in building design! Ever since co-founding Architecture Is Fun back in 1994 (because who needs boring architecture anyway?), you've transformed spaces into joyful playgrounds. Winning the AIA Chicago Young Architect Award was just a warm-up—you elevated things by snagging Excellence in Education from AIA Illinois. Nicely played!From steering the ship as president-elect of the American Institute of Architects to shaping communities with imagination-filled projects, your journey is truly inspiring—and delightfully fun.
Wishing you another year ahead filled with creativity…and maybe fewer meetings! Cheers!
