Overview
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is the professional association for architects and those in the architecture field. AIA Tampa Bay is the regional chapter representing approximately 650 members in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus and Sumter Counties. The AIA provides programs and services including educational programs, design competitions, community service programs and serves as the united voice of the architecture profession.
AIA members are currently licensed to practice architecture in the United States. Associate AIA members are unlicensed, but they do meet one of the following criteria - They are working under the supervision of an architect in a professional or technical capacity; they have earned professional degrees in architecture; they are a faculty member in a university program in architecture or, they are interns earning credit toward licensure.
Allied members are individuals whose professions are related to the building and design industry, such as engineers, landscape architects, planners or senior executive staff from building and design-related companies, including publishers, product manufacturers and research firms. Allied membership is a partnership with the AIA.
AIA Tampa Bay is the voice of architecture, dedicated to its members and the quality of the built environment in Tampa Bay. To unite local architects and the community, AIA conducts various events and programs, many are held at The Center for Architecture and Design, our headquarters in Ybor City. The chapter also arranges building tours, community service events, lectures and educational programs, design competitions and much more. In addition, AIA Tampa Bay is a distributor of the industry standard AIA Contract Documents - standardized contract documents for construction projects. Beyond the chapter’s program offerings, AIA Tampa Bay serves as a resource for information to architects and the public and serves as the united voice of the architecture profession in addressing the media, governmental bodies and the public.
