Jayesh Hariyani has been recognized as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) in 2026.
Ar. Jayesh Hariyani, Founder & Senior Principal, INI Design Studio, Ahmedabad, has been elevated to the Fellowship of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) — one of the most distinguished professional honours in architecture. The RIBA Fellowship recognizes architects whose professional achievements, leadership, knowledge and contribution have made a significant impact on architecture and society. It represents a highly respected international recognition of a lifetime of contribution to the profession.
This honour is particularly significant as Jayesh Hariyani was also elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) in 2021. Holding both FAIA and FRIBA is exceptionally rare. Jayesh joins a very select group of architects associated with India who have received both of these distinguished international fellowships, alongside the late Balkrishna V. Doshi and late Charles Correa.
His journey reflects a sustained commitment to design excellence, innovation, sustainability, humanism and nation-building, with a body of work spanning diverse typologies, geographies and scales across India and internationally.
