In 2024, the architectural community lost a Pritzker laureate who served as an important architectural bridge between the United States and Japan, a San Francisco architect who tirelessly advocated for social and environmental change in both the built environment and the profession, a Le Corbusier protégé who went on to become a highly regarded figure stateside in the realm of academia—and many more.

Below are tributes published by RECORD, both in print and online, remembering those in the profession—and profession-adjacent—who passed this year. They are presented in chronological order of their passing beginning in January, with links to each individual tribute and remembrance within their respective names.
