carol ross barney, faia, founder and design principal, ross barney architects, shares her work and commitment to the role architecture plays in life quality. carol received aia chicago’s lifetime achievement award in 2017.

honored with more than 100 design awards, most recently for the chicago riverwalk, carol ross barney has been in the vanguard of civic space design since founding her firm in 1981. carol’s projects vary in type and scale but uphold a deep commitment to the role architecture plays in life quality. this has manifest itself in spaces that transition urban dwellers from point a to point b and enrich the metropolitan experience; to buildings that are environmental stewards, showcasing sustainability in an overtly compelling way; to spaces that inspire young children and the brightest minds of tomorrow to learn, invent and break boundaries.

aia chicago is an association partner of neocon.
