Jackson architect Eric Logan was elevated to the College of Fellows in February 2025. The AIA’s fellowship program was developed to elevate architects who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession and made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level. Drawing from his native Rocky Mountain West, Eric has defined a nationally recognized design language that connects people to place.
Having grown up in Wyoming and made his career and life in the Rocky Mountain West, Eric Logan’s architecture is deeply intertwined with the landscape of this storied place — a region holding special significance to the nation’s shared heritage. While the built identity of Wyoming and Montana has historically been defined by imported styles and nostalgic fantasies of log cabins and park lodges, Eric has taken a different tack. His work has pushed the architecture of the Mountain West towards a contemporary expression that is bold, contextual and materially rich, yet always sensitive and reflective of its natural surroundings. From here, the work has expanded outward to locales around the globe and across all scales.
Eric’s architecture spans from residential to commercial and from functional to artful. Still, his devotion is always to a purity of form, an honesty of materials and a love of craft, yielding places that inspire a deeper connection between people, and with our surroundings.
Returning to his home state of Wyoming in 1995, Eric began his practice at what would become CLB Architects. He soon became a partner and helped propel the firm to open its second office in Bozeman, Montana, in 2017. Eric has been instrumental in transforming the firm into an award-winning, fully integrated architecture and interior design practice, with projects in 11 U.S. states, Canada, and Japan. The breadth of Eric’s influence is exemplified in the nearly 100 design accolades his work has received, including 51 local and regional AIA awards. The firm was awarded the 2009 AIA Western Mountain Region Firm of the Year recognition for its contributions to design.
Eric’s many public art projects articulate his commitment to environmental and social sustainability. Through seven installations over 14 years, in locations ranging from the Mountain West to New York City, Eric has embraced public art for its capacity to build community engagement from the ground up. Rather than approaching these projects as objects in space, Eric designs experiences that bring people together in both their use and construction, often collaborating with partners to test strategies such as material reuse and prefabrication that move us toward a healthier, more resilient built environment. Ultimately, Eric’s is a practice of deep listening — to the people, communities and environments of our world, and the mystical connections that bind them.
