This subseries includes awards, certificates, honorary diplomas, and plaques that Candela received throughout his career recognizing his contributions to the field of architecture. Beginning in the 1960s, Candela garnered an increasing amount of attention and publicity for his work in thin-shell concrete design that lasted throughout his life as he continued to travel and lecture publicly. Although Candela never managed to continue his formal studies following his years in Madrid, he received honorary doctorates from the University of New Mexico, the University of Illinois, and Universidad de Sevilla, as well as an honorary plaque in the 1990s, recognizing his achievements, from La Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid, where he completed his education in the 1930s.

Also present are travel shots of Candela in later years, often accompanied by his wife, Dorothy Candela, also an architect, in locations such as British Guiana, the United States, Spain, Iran, Peru, Argentina, Armenia, Bulgaria, and England.
