ARTHUR C. DANIELIAN, FAIA
Founder & Chairman
Danielian Associates Architecture + Planning
Over the course of his 55+ year career, Art Danielian has truly made his mark on the field of residential architecture. Not only has he achieved exemplary accomplishments within the profession, he has a demonstrated history of giving back to the homebuilding industry and providing mentoring to the next generation of architectural students and industry professionals.

Art grew up in Pasadena, California, and served in the US Army before attending USC School of Architecture. During his time at USC, he immersed himself in the field and worked for a myriad of structural engineering and architecture firms. Two notable projects that Art worked on include the Apollo launching structure and the Space Needle. Upon his graduation in 1963 he began working for Ed Fickett, FAIA, one of the nation’s pioneers in master planned residential communities. Working with Ed is where Art got his start in residential design and ultimately found his passion.

After venturing out and starting his own architectural firm early in his career, Art Danielian pioneered such innovative residential housing concepts such as the wide and shallow lot configurations, combo / condos, and various improvements of the ‘z-lots’ all of which had a substantial and positive impact on community character in master planned communities throughout Orange County. Art also assisted with the Charter for the City of Irvine. After being honored with numerous awards within California and advanced to the College of Fellows of the AIA in 1982, Art expanded his architecture services throughout the United States and then to the rest of the world – creating innovative housing designs and communities that homebuyers loved to live in.

Art became a recognized expert in innovative housing design, bringing a multitude of ideas to the homebuilding industry. He was one of the first architects to embrace a market-driven design model, working with each of his builder clients and market researchers to truly identify their market profiles – creating homes with tremendous absorption rates that were well loved by their buyers. For nearly 20 years he represented the AIA and led the architecture and design panels at the International Builders Show and was a regular speaker at industry conferences and events. Art was one of the founding members of his local SMC, helped ignite the MAME Awards, and was among the first group of individuals to earn their MIRM designation by NAHB. Throughout the years Art has been honored with the Max C. Tipton Award, the Rodney Radom Memorial Award, and in 2002, Art Danielian was the first architect to be inducted into the California Homebuilding Foundation Hall of Fame. This honor was bestowed upon him due to “contributing immeasurably to the community, advancement of the profession, and for elevating the architect’s role in the homebuilding industry.”

In 2018, Art’s firm Danielian Associates celebrated 50 years in business. The firm attributes its success navigating the ups and downs of the economic housing cycle due to their market-driven design philosophy and having an international market presence. To date, the Danielian Associates Team has provided planning and architecture services to 44 states and 15 countries worldwide — creating well over one million units of housing. The diverse range of products Art and his team have designed include production housing, custom homes, multifamily housing, mixed-use, affordable housing, senior communities, clubhouses, transitional housing for US military veterans, master planned communities and much more.

Art believes in hard work and being tenacious. His high energy and passion for design are contagious in the office. Art continues to work full time, focusing primarily on international projects while the firm is now under the leadership of his son, John Danielian, AIA.

  • Up to 12 images that represent entry (to be used in awards show, website, PR)

Land Planning Eligibility Requirements

  • Introduction: NAHB Global Innovation Land Planning Award is open to residential and commercial property professionals from around the globe. The goal of planning is to maximize the health, safety, and economic well-being of all people living in our societies, how we can attract and retain thriving businesses, where we want to live, and opportunities for recreation. Planning helps create local societies of lasting value. While architects often focus on a single building, a planner’s job is to work with residents and elected officials to guide the layout of an entire district or region. Planners take a broad view and look at how the pieces of a locality — buildings, roads, and parks — fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Planners then make recommendations on how the local environment should proceed. One of the greatest challenges for planners is to imagine what can and should happen to a local environment: how it should grow and change, and what it should offer residents 10, 15, or even 20 years into the future. This award celebrates the highest level of achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property and real estate industry who demonstrate excellence in residential and mixed- use land development. These projects promote excellence in planning and design. Projects include residential, office, commercial, and institutional developments that exemplify good site design, such as building placement, project context, parking and circulation, pedestrian amenities, landscaping, and sustainable design practices.
  • Eligibility Requirements: This project must have been completed outside of the domestic United States between Jan. 1, 2009 and Oct. 7, 2023. Previously entered winning projects are not eligible to submit again for the same category. Previously entered non-winning projects may enter again if they meet the criteria for the current year’s program. All projects may be located in rural, suburban, or urban areas and may have the potential to be developed for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural or special-purpose use.

Land Planning Judging Criteria

  • Level Playing Field. Judges will always take into consideration the level of commitment that can be afforded by each applicant – so that smaller or poorer areas have just as much chance of success as bigger or richer ones. Ex. Uganda versus Paris.
  • Has this individual, organization or government addressed a commercial challenge?
  • Has the goal and/or purpose for the land planning, its relationship to its surroundings and local culture, any products that made a positive difference for the home building industry, innovative techniques and technology that solve building challenge(s), any protocols for sustainability, health and wellness, unique marketing of key features and amenities, evidence of success, etc.
  • International Project. Was this project completed outside of the domestic United States?
  • Building Phase. Has the project been completed or in progress? Those in design stage will not be considered.
  • Age of project. This project must have been completed outside of the domestic United States between Jan. 1, 2007 and Oct. 7, 2022. Projects older than 15 years will not be considered.
