The QU-AIAS is an independent, non-profit, student-run organization dedicated to providing unmatched progressive programs, information, and resources on issues critical to architecture and the experience of architectural education. The AIAS aims to: 1) promote excellence in architectural education, training, and practice; 2) foster an appreciation of architecture and related disciplines; to enrich communities in a spirit of collaboration; and, 3) organize students and combine their efforts to advance the art and science of architecture. Our mission is advancing leadership, design, and service among architecture students.
QU-AIAS membership supports architecture students in our department but also across the United States and academic programs around the world. QU-AIAS promotes excellence in architecture education and training. Architectural practice is constantly evolving. A large part of that evolution happens in schools where pedagogy promotes experimentation and exploration above all. AIAS members understand their role in the profession as leaders; not the future of the profession but the now. Programs like Freedom by Design, CRIT, and Grassroots mentorship empower students to own that role. We foster an appreciation of architecture, design, and related disciplines in departmental events, annual gatherings, and regional conferences, providing students with the opportunity to learn about the issues facing our world, meet students and professionals with common interests, and interact with some of today’s leading architects and designers. QU-AIAS enriches communities in a spirit of collaboration through the Freedom by Design™ and other community outreach programs. We are empowering our members and students to be good citizens on their campuses and in their communities. We organize students and combine their efforts to advance the art and policy of architecture by being the sole student voice in the collateral discussion and decision-making process that includes The American Institute of Architects (AIA), The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), The National Council of Architecture Registration Boards (NCARB) and The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
The team is pleased to announce that AIAS is now an official organization registered at QU ENGAGE.
