2026 LTU CoAD’s Distinguished Architecture Alumni Award
About this Event
LTU CoAD is thrilled to announce that the DAAA committee has chosen Harold J Remlinger, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB as the recipient of the 29th annual LTU Distinguished Architecture Alumni Award! Join us in congratulating Harold as he becomes part of an elite group of LTU’s College of Architecture Alumni.
DAA talk title: A Series of Questionable Decisions
Drawing from Harold Remlinger’s own experiences through education, professional practice and community engagement, this lecture examines the non-linear path of how meaningful learning often comes from choices that, at the time, appear misaligned with conventional expectations toward success. By examining these moments as critical detours rather than missteps, questionable decisions become positive disruptions that expand one’s disciplinary understanding, refine professional identity, and open pathways that are otherwise undistinguishable.
The lecture invites participants to embrace curiosity, and imperfect choices that can lead to deeper learning, a stronger sense of purpose and opportunities you never saw coming. Participants will leave with an understanding to Reframe detours as catalysts, apply "questionable decisions" as a methodology and embrace the value of the unexpected.
The Lawrence Technological University DAA Award is given annually in recognition of the recipient’s professional, academic, and personal achievements including:
- Local, national, and international professional accomplishments
- Support of the College of Architecture and Design
- Charitable, volunteer, and community service
In addition to our professional DAA Award, the CoAD DAA Scholarship winner is Reagan Boyle.
