Membership

AIA is where the architecture and design communities unite to share knowledge, gain expertise, connect, and stay involved. An AIA membership connects you to this global community of over 98,000 professionals who share your passion for architecture, design, and the built environment. It also connects you to opportunities to mold the architecture profession, public policy, and practice.

Whether you’re an experienced architect or new in the profession, a recent graduate, a sole practitioner running your practice, mentoring new architects or those seeking to become architects, architecture faculty, or affiliated with architecture, AIA has tools and resources that support you at every stage.
