The magazine Architectural Record is honoring five winners for outstanding achievement in the field in this year’s Women in Architecture Awards, which were announced on Friday. The winners are: Toshiko Mori, Sharon Johnston, Claire Weisz, Mabel O. Wilson and Dana Cuff.

“The range of smart, passionate talent in these different fields related to architecture and design is inspiring and it’s also informative,” John King, the architecture critic for the San Francisco Chronicle who was a member of the independent jury for the award, said in a telephone interview. “There is such talent that is working on very important and interesting design and social challenges.”

Ms. Mori was recognized in the category of design leader; she has been a prominent architect for decades and was the first woman to be tenured at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Her work, Mr. King said, is an example of the “absolute mastery of craft.”

Ms. Johnston was recognized as a new generation leader — a category that Cathleen McGuigan, the editor in chief of Architectural Record, said was intended to honor a woman who is “rising in her profession.” Ms. Johnston is the co-founder of the firm Johnston Marklee, whose projects have included the Menil Drawing Institute in Houston and the U.C.L.A. Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios in Culver City.
