American Institute of Architects (AIA)

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) was created in 1857. Through education, government advocacy, community redevelopment, and public outreach activities, the AIA works toward a public environment that is responsive to the people it serves while representing the professional interests of America’s architects. In close concert with other members of the design and construction team, the AIA also works to fulfill its commitment to help coordinate the building industry.

As members of the AIA, more than 72,000 licensed architects and associated professionals express their commitment to quality, consistency, and safety in the built environment. AIA members adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct that assures clients, the public and colleagues of an architect’s dedication to the highest standards in the professional practice.
