The Power of 13: Thirteen architects met in the office of New York architect Richard Upjohn in 1857. Their goal: Form an organization to promote architects and architecture. That was the beginning of AIA. Two months later, the American Institute of Architects was incorporated. Now we’re more than 98,000 members worldwide.
AIA Kentucky has the power of many as we are over 700 strong…and there are numerous ways to become plugged in. We want to make it easy for you to find your niche and even easier for you to connect with the appropriate person to start your journey with AIA Kentucky.
