Committee on Design

The Committee on Design was founded to promote design excellence among members of the AIA, the broader design community, and the public at large, both nationally and internationally. In realizing this mission, the committee promotes a range of activities intended to encourage a dialogue on the art of building.

If you wish to become involved with the Committee on Design Knowledge Community, call AIA's Member Services, 800-242-3837, and ask to designate Committee on Design as one of your Knowledge Communities.
