The mission of AIA San Diego is to promote the profession of architecture in San Diego and support members in professional excellence throughout their careers.
Founded in 1928, AIA San Diego remains committed to connecting architects with the community through advocacy for design, planning, sustainability, education, professional development, and civic leadership.
Help Shape the Future of San Diego's Built Environment
AIA San Diego is collecting input from members to better understand where architects are already engaged and where there is interest in getting more involved in civic advocacy. Whether you currently serve or are simply curious about public service, we want to hear from you.

If you’ve been considering Fellowship with the AIA, now is the perfect time. Those elevated this cycle will celebrate their investiture right here in San Diego when A’26 comes to town, making it even more meaningful to share with colleagues, family, and friends.
