About AIA
As the largest design organization in the world, AIA is working to transform the day-to-day practice of architecture to achieve a zero-carbon, resilient, healthy, just, equitable built environment, for everyone.
What started as 13 architects in a New York office in 1857 has grown to become the largest, most influential network of architects and design professionals. Our 100,000+ global member community shares a passion for design, a desire to change the world, and a commitment to the highest standards of practice.
