Get involved - AIA Knowledge Communities

Join an AIA Knowledge Community and connect with others who share your passions and commitment—and start a project that advances the profession and your work.

Sustainability, emerging technologies, small business, starting or managing a firm—no matter your interest, one or more of AIA's 21 Knowledge Communities is for you.

Of the 21 different knowledge communities, check out these 4 that demonstrate some of the range:

Building Performance Knowelge Community

The mission of the BPKC is to increase building performance related to occupant comfort and health; and to the function, durability, sustainability, and resilience of buildings. 

Committee on the Environment (COTE)

The Committee on the Environment (COTE®) is an AIA Knowledge Community working for architects, allied professionals, and the public to achieve climate action and climate justice through design.

Public Architects Committee (PA)

What is the role of the public architect and how can it be enhanced? PA promotes excellence in public architecture and positions the architect as an essential element in civic engagement and development of public facilities. 

Technology in Architectural Practice (TAP)

As new technology emerges and becomes increasingly critical to practice, planning and building, TAP keeps members ahead, serving as a resource for the profession and the public in the use of technology in the practice of architecture.
