Our History

AIA National

On February 23, 1857, 13 architects met in Richard Upjohn’s office to form what would become the American Institute of Architects. The group sought to create an architecture organization that would “promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members” and “elevate the standing of the profession.” AIA National sought "progressive men who are capable of influencing public opinion in their communities, and who are willing to take an active interest in organization affairs." AIA Chapters were formed throughout the United States as the field of architecture grew.
