The American Institute of Architects (AIA) will provide you with the opportunity to advocate for the value of architecture and give architects and design professionals the resources they need to do their best work. The collective voice of architects is essential and our work drives positive change through the power of design. Each one of us at AIA is a leader committed to demonstrating our mission and values and designing a better future for our country and planet. Even in times of change, AIA's values remain constant: We stand for equity and human rights, architecture that strengthens our communities, a sustainable future, protecting communities from the impacts of climate change, economic opportunity, and investing in the future. We speak up, and policymakers listen. The American Institute of Architects, as part of the global community, is building a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion within the profession of architecture to create a better built environment for all.
