Architectural Research

(2007 AIA RFP project: Reactive VOID - Socializing Space through Responsive Technology by J. Stein and R. Ley)

 

The American Institute of Architects has a long commitment to knowledge sharing among architecture practitioners and academicians.

In 2007 the AIA Board Knowledge Committee convened more than three dozen leading academics and practitioners to share their views on architectural research, identify emerging research agendas, and explore ways to elevate the importance of research in the profession.

In 2004 the Institute began soliciting proposals for applied research that advances professional knowledge and practice. Since then, the AIA Board Knowledge Committee initiated two research grant programs: the annual RFP Program and the Upjohn Research Initiative.
