AIA New York (est. 1857) serves 5,500 architects and allies. Its partner, Center for Architecture, serves the public.
About us
Founded in 1857, the American Institute of Architects New York (AIANY) is the oldest and largest chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Members include more than 5,500 practicing architects, allied professionals, students, and public members interested in architecture and design. AIANY is dedicated to three goals: design excellence, public outreach, and professional development. AIANY shares a home with sister organization Center for Architecture, a leading cultural venue for architecture and the built environment in New York City, informed by the complexity of the City’s urban fabric and in dialogue with the global community. The Center for Architecture has the unique advantage of drawing upon the ideas and experiences of practicing architects to produce thought-provoking exhibitions, informative public programs, and quality design education experiences for K-12 students. It also leads New York City’s annual month-long architecture and design festival, Archtober. The Center for Architecture’s aim is to further public knowledge about New York City architecture and architects, foster exchange and collaboration among members of the design, development, building, scholarly, and policy sectors, and inspire new ideas about the role of design in communities by presenting contemporary and practical issues in architecture and urbanism to a general audience.

RE-ENERGIZING THE CITY will bring together architects, landscape architects, planners, and government officials to examine new and necessary expectations placed upon our built and natural environment, redefine how our professions can best respond to these new expectations, and work to redefine the city as one that works for all. Register and join us 9/20: https://bit.ly/4cGpDhF
I’m honored to serve again as co-chair for the inter-disciplinary event, PlanScapeArch. It’s been great working alongside co-sponsors AIA New York | Center for Architecture, ASLA- NY and American Planning Association NY Metro Chapter and I’m excited to see the event premier on Friday, September 20th, 2024. Timed to coincide with Climate Group's Climate Week NYC, the event makes for the perfect place to question how our professional and governmental leaders are effectively tackling the crisis. As communities demand more inclusive design processes, we will explore how the industry can address the unparalleled growth taking place in the urban realm. Equally representing three design professions – architecture, landscape architecture and planning – RE-ENERGIZING THE CITY seeks to foster multiple perspectives and reframe the conversation to engage individuals – from locals to thought-leaders. The event will showcase forward-looking discussions that reflect on new and necessary expectations entering our built and natural environment. With a shared ethos that promotes sustainability, resilience, and public access, we will be looking at how our multi-disciplinary processes must evolve – together – to meet these challenges and to reimagine the city as one that works for all. Our impressive lineup this year includes keynote speakers Vishaan Chakrabarti, FAIA, Founder and Creative Director, Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU), Iain Macdonald, Director, INSTANCE BV Architecture + Technologies, and Elijah Hutchinson, Executive Director, NYC Office of the Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, with panel sessions moderated by Jee Mee Kim-Diaz, City Executive, NYC Region/Vice President, Arcadis, Kaja Kühl, Dipl.Ing, AICP, Founding Principal, YOUARETHECITY and Adjunct Professor at Columbia University, Nette Compton, President and CEO, Mill River Park Collaborative, and Sarah Williams, Director of the Civic Data Design Lab and Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. And special thanks to our dedicated committee this year: David Burgy, AICP, PMP, Phu Duong, Suzanne Mecs, Hon. AIA NYState, Maitri Pujara, Kevin Corté, AICP, Diane Sferrazza Katz, Bria Donohue, HITAKSHI AGRAWAL, Deniz Onder Litowitz, and Chuck Hovanic. Watch this space for more details about the sessions and registration; I hope you’ll join me in what will be an engaging and lively debate! #nyc #architecture #landscapearchitecture #planning #urbanrealm #asla #aslany #aia #aiany #apa #apametrony #planscapearch #ClimateWeekNYC

Recipe for a Room is a model-making contest about building spatial, sculptural, miniature rooms while fostering fun, creativity, and professional mentorship. Join us for the 2024 edition next Thursday, 9/5: https://bit.ly/4dEyB0e Two-person teams, each comprised of a student and architect mentor, will design small-scale places for the displaced. We challenge teams to create one-person shelters which can be folded up into suitcase-size, portable packs. Net proceeds from the event will go to a non-profit working to directly assist displaced persons. Over 180,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022. Many did not choose this city as their destination, but all are travelers who left a previous home behind. In September 2023, Mayor Eric Adams stated, “New York is one of the few states where you have the right to shelter… however, while our compassion is limitless, our resources are not.” Shelter is only guaranteed for 30 days for single individuals and 60 days for families. Participating Schools: The City University of New York Pratt Institute New Jersey Institute of Technology New York Institute of Technology Student and Mentor Teams: Saddqa Bahidrah, Pratt Institute Lauren Schlesinger, Principal, Glickman Schlesinger Architects PLLC Mouhamadou Dieng, City University of New York Nicole Vlado Torres, AIA, NOMA, Fellow, Design Trust for Public Space Olivia Langford, City University of New York charles wolf, Senior Project Designer, Ennead Architects Elaina Michetti, New Jersey Institute of Technology Aya Matsumoto, AIA, Principal, AMAT Architecture Jessica Nolasco, City University of New York Samantha Josaphat-Medina, RA, LEED, NCARB, NOMA, Co-founder, STUDIO 397 Architecture PLLC Gabriel Pena, City University of New York Yutaka Takiura, Associate Professor, Pratt Institute Gerardo Ruiz, New York Institute of Technology Eric Gering, Design Professor, New York School of Interior Design Jury: Amy Mielke, AIA, Associate Principal, Ennead Architects Dr. Sharon Egretta Sutton, FAIA, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Architecture, Parsons School of Design Kim Yao, FAIA, Principal, Architecture Research Office (ARO) Organized by AIANY Interiors Committee

Join us 9/26 for The Nature-Based Industrial Revolution: Redefining Future-Forward Architecture: https://bit.ly/4dH31i2 There has never been a more important time to elevate the role of the built environment in addressing the climate crises. This discussion will elaborate on potential future scenarios in the context of the new book Habitat: Vernacular Architecture for a Changing Climate (Thames & Hudson, 2024). Given our ecosystem’s increasing frailty, the role of architecture and building in a post-digital era, and the desperate need to record fading cultural traditions, this book is more relevant than ever. Organized by the AIANY Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee as part of #ClimateWeekNYC 2024, the event addresses the science-policy brief recommendations of “Nature-Based Industrial Revolution for Inclusive Sustainable Development,” a submission for the Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals (STI Forum 2024) at United Nations Headquarters New York.

This Sunday, join us for an architectural walking tour of Madison Square Park! Register: https://bit.ly/3YQLHCQ In 1847, Madison Square Park (named for the fourth U.S. President, James Madison) was established as a residential neighborhood but quickly became a center for larger commercial and entertainment buildings. Today, it boasts a lively mix of insurance, finance, design, and residential uses. The park lays claim to home of the original Madison Square Garden, the founding of baseball, and the very first Shake Shack. Early skyscrapers like the Flatiron Building, Metropolitan Life, and the NY Life Building will be discussed, as well as the architectural legacies of Stanford White, Daniel Burnham, Napoleon LeBrun, and Cass Gilbert.
