NEW 2025 STRATEGIC PLAN COMING SOON.

    The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has been the leading professional membership association for licensed architects, emerging professionals, and allied partners since 1857. Representing approximately 80,000 members nationally, 6,000 members throughout the state of Texas, and 100+ members locally, this three-tiered organization is the largest voice of the architectural community.

AIA Corpus Christi unites the community of design professionals who live and work in the Texas Coastal Bend by connecting directly with architects, associates, and professionals in the design and build industries. Acting as a resource to the general public, AIA Corpus Christi utilizes its vast local and national opportunities to educate, promote and encourage ongoing support and appreciation of innovative and historic architecture.
