Its members use the post-nominals FRAIA (Fellow), ARAIA (Associate Member) and RAIA (Member, also the organisation's abbreviation). The Institute supports 14,000 members across Australia, including 550 Australian members who are based in architectural roles across 40 countries outside Australia.

EmAGN (Emerging Architects and Graduates Network) represents architectural professionals within 15 years of graduation, as part of the Australian Institute of Architects.


      History




      = State institutes

      =
      A number of Australian colonies (later states) formed professional societies for architects.
      The Royal Victorian Institute of Architects (RVIA) was established as the Victorian Institute of Architects in the colony of Victoria in August 1856, receiving royal charter in 1889.
      After a couple of predecessors dating at least as far back as 1859, the South Australian Institute of Architects was founded in the colony of South Australia on 20 September 1886, and in 1904 Walter Hervey Bagot designed its seal.
      The New South Wales Institute of Architects was established in 1871, headed by George Allen Mansfield. The secretary was Benjamin Backhouse, who was later a Member of the NSW Legislative Council.
      The Queensland Institute of Architects was established in 1888, and the West Australian Institute of Architects (WAIA) in 1896.


      = Australian Institute of Architects established 1929

      =
      The Australian Institute of Architects was established on 6 September 1929,
      when state architectural institutes combined to form a unified national association. The RVIA became a foundation member of the federated body in 1929. On 18 August 1930 the 'Royal' title was granted, and it became the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
      The Queensland Institute of Architects joined in 1930, with WAIA following in March 1943. SAIA joined up in July 1962, becoming the "South Australian Chapter".
      The national headquarters was formerly located in Red Hill, Canberra, in a 1968 building designed by Bryce Mortlock from Sydney firm Ancher, Mortlock and Woolley. This building still functions as the ACT Chapter offices.
      In August 2008, following an informal poll of members in 2001, the National Council resolved to continue trading as the 'Australian Institute of Architects', while retaining 'Royal Australian Institute of Architects' as the legal name. The postnominals of FRAIA (Fellow) and RAIA (Members and organisation abbreviation) continue to be used with the legal name abbreviated.


      Purpose, functions, affiliations


      In the preamble of the AIA's constitution states its wider purpose as "The Royal Australian Institute of Architects, established in 1930, is a national member based organisation for the architecture profession. The Institute supports and advances the architecture profession by advocating for high quality design and responsible sustainability for the built environment."
      As a professional body representing architects, the institute is represented on many national and state industry and government bodies, and is affiliated with the International Union of Architects (UIA).
      A chapter is maintained in each state and territory. Each chapter runs a range of events, activities and annual state and regional architecture awards, that feed into the national awards program.


      National awards and prizes




      = National Architecture Awards

      =
      The National Architecture Awards are held in late October or early November each year and have been presented since 1981. The shortlisted entrants are drawn from relevant state based awards programs held earlier in the year (usually in June or July). The awards cover residential, public, education, commercial, interiors, small projects, urban design, international projects, steel construction and sustainability.


      = National Prizes

      =
      National Prizes have been awarded annually since 2010, usually in early May and often as part of the Australian Architecture Conference. Each prize has a separate jury who assess a shortlist in each category. The inaugural 'Australian Achievement in Architecture Awards' were held on 18 March 2010 at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, presented separately to the National Awards. In 2017 the program was renamed as 'National Prizes'. National Prizes recognise achievement across a range of categories that support and promote advocacy, innovation and education, and do not relate to particular buildings which are judged at the National Awards later in the same year.


      AIA Gold Medal



      The AIA Gold Medal is the highest individual prize of the Australian Institute of Architects and had been presented annually since 1960.


      Other National Prizes


      Paula Whitman Leadership in Gender Equity Prize
      National Emerging Architect Prize
      National President's Prize
      Leadership in Sustainability Prize

      State and Territory architecture awards and prizes



      Each of the State and Territory chapters also present annual awards, including Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and Victoria. The winners of these awards form the shortlist for consideration of the National Awards later in the same year. The International Chapter of the AIA also run an awards program.
