About Ivenue Love-Stanley, FAIA, NOMA
As a pioneer who has ventured into uncharted waters and paved the way for others, Ivenue Love-Stanley is an inspiration. In 1977 she became the first African-American woman to graduate from the Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture. She was also the first African-American woman to be registered as a licensed architect in the south.
Together with her husband, Ms. Love-Stanley has built Stanley, Love-Stanley into a large, integrated practice, known for its excellent planning and design. Ms. Love-Stanley’s contributions stretch well beyond architectural design, as she is greatly involved in community service work, inspiring others to follow in her professional and personal footsteps.
About William J. Stanley, III, FAIA, NOMA
In his 37 years in architecture, Mr. Stanley has practiced with some of the premier design firms in Atlanta, New York, Detroit, Europe and Africa. The first African-American graduate of the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology (1972), Mr. Stanley became the south’s youngest African American ever to receive his registration as an architect. Mr. Stanley is the founder of Stanley, Love-Stanley, P.C. and a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects (FAIA).
In addition to conceiving numerous award-winning designs, Mr. Stanley’s honors have included being the 1995 recipient of the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Citation, given by the American Institute of Architects to the country’s most socially conscious architect. In 2000, AIA Georgia bestowed upon him the Bernard Rothschild medal, the state’s highest award.
