AIA Best Practices, Archives, and Case Studies

 

AIA Best Practices

What are AIA Best Practices?
AIA Best Practices represent the collective wisdom of AIA members. They are a compendium of the practical knowledge acquired by AIA members in the real world of architecture practice—knowledge gained from experience, immediately applicable to a task at hand. To browse all AIA Best Practices, go to www.aia.org/library_default and click on "Best Practices" in the menu on the left or go directly to www.aia.org/bestpractices.

The AIA Archives: Your Professional Heritage

The resources in the AIA Archives richly document the development of the architectural profession in the United States. Beginning with the minutes of the first meeting of the American Institute of Architects on February 23, 1857, the AIA Archives protects and preserves the heritage of all architects.

The AIA Case Studies Initiative

Sponsored by the AIA Large Firm Roundtable (LFRT) and the Educator/Practitioner Net (EPN), the AIA Case Studies Initiative was launched in September 2001 to produce an online database of case studies.

The intent of this collaborative effort is to develop a new body of knowledge regarding the practice of architecture through rigorous preparation of architectural case studies on a variety of project types. The information developed is available to students, faculty, interns, practicing architects, and the public to better inform all of these constituencies. The goal is to provide an opportunity for learning -- both for students and practitioner -- in the context of architectural practice.

The deadline for submission of case studies is August 1 of each year. For additional information, see the Case Studies Development Checklist and Submission Guidelines
(PDF/33pgs/171k) at www.aia.org/ed_casestudies_guidelines.
