Our mission

The Global Practice Community promotes excellence in international architectural practice; serves as a resource to members by disseminating information on international markets, practice, and design; develops expertise in international policy and trade issues; and strives to enhance the international practices of the membership.

Get involved!

The American Institute of Architects actively promotes a diverse profession, including race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation. We strive to be an inclusive Knowledge Community representing diversity of thought, geographic diversity, both traditional and non-traditional practice and as well as providing opportunities for seasoned professionals, associate members, and young architects.

We're looking for enthusiastic people who want to help make our profession better. If you have an interest in becoming active in a leadership role, please reach out to staff or anyone on our advisory group.
