The AIA, representing more than 83,000 members, is the largest voice of the architectural community in the United States and North America. In 1992, London officially became the ‘first international chapter’ of the AIA, leading the way for the formal recognition of other international chapters in Continental Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The AIA UK Chapter, based in London, now has over 180 members throughout the country. We have continued a dialogue with the Royal Institute of British Architects and work jointly with its members to promote architecture and the architectural profession. Many of our members are also members of the RIBA and membership in the AIA is available to UK registered architects. Each year, the AIA UK Chapter provides a variety of programs, including lectures, conferences, building visits, and cycle tours. In addition to the Annual Design Awards, the Annual Keynote Lecture, and the Annual Student / Professional Design Charrette, held each autumn, deserve particular note. 7 Feb 2011 AIA UK Design Awards - Entry The 2011 AIA UK Chapter Excellence in Design Awards Programme The Awards Programme recognises and honours excellence in design: • By UK-based Architects for projects anywhere in the world • By Architects anywhere in the world for projects located in the UK • By Students of Architecture currently enrolled in UK Universities The American Institute of Architects UK Chapter is pleased to announce its 2011 Excellence in Design Awards Programme.
