International Practice: Taking Your Work Global

The AIA is not merely a professional association to promote architects in America, but it also promotes American architects across the world. In a time of increased global connections, growing populations, decreased domestic demand, and developing economies, now is as an important time to look at the needs of foreign markets. The AIA encourages members to look at their work and see how it could fit into the global marketplace. That is why the AIA is here to provide you with a wide range of resources - from roundtables to trade missions - to help you find opportunities and succeed overseas, because we know that you are vital to excellence in international architecture practice.

Stay tuned to the Issues & Advocacy page and our Facebook and Twitter pages for more information on international practice. As a reminder, sign up for the RSS feed for this page, or add it to your Favorites, as content does change daily. Click here to contact us with questions or comments.
