Cayer’s research has been recognized and supported by international awards and fellowships, including a 2025 Carnegie Fellowship from the Carnegie Corporation, a 2024 Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome, and a 2021 Thom Fellowship from the Huntington Library. He was awarded the inaugural Kristine Fallon Prize by the International Archive of Women in Architecture in 2022, and he was named to the Architecture League of New York’s “American Roundtable” in 2020 for research about rural economies and communities.
His first book, Incorporating Architects: How American Architecture Became a Practice of Empire was published by UC Press in 2025. In it, he traces the rise of US-based architecture and engineering corporations, such as AECOM, as well as their impact on professions and politics after World War II.
