Why an AIA Architect?
Look for the AIA initials after the name of an architect you consider for your project. AIA Architects maintain continuing education and subscribe to a code of ethics and professional conduct that assure clients, the public, and colleagues of their dedication to professional standards in practice.
AIA Architects clarify and define your building needs.
Through a process called programming, AIA Architects can thoroughly examine your specific requirements, your budget, and building site to help define the scope of what is to be built.
AIA Architects solve problems creatively.
AIA Architects are trained problem solvers. An AIA Architect can design a space that meets your needs today, and that can be adapted for tomorrow. AIA Architects look for ways to make your project cost effective and propose ways to get even more for your investment than you imagined possible.
AIA Architects see the big picture.
AIA Architects create total environments, both interior and exterior, that are functional and exciting places in which to work and live.
AIA Architects manage your project.
AIA Architects manage and coordinate key project elements, while you focus on your organization's activities.
AIA Architects maximize your investment.
AIA Architects are a wise investment of today's dollars for tomorrow's big savings. A building designed for maximum energy efficiency can reduce bills now and in the future. Efficient use of space can reduce the total square footage required and increase employee productivity. A well designed building can not only reduce first costs and increase long-term value, but also improve the users' enjoyment of the work and living environments.
"Beware of amateurs who claim to be designers. Owning software that does CAD and having the ability to create design are not the same thing. Give a gormet cook and me ingredients for a meal and the results be will totally different."
Curt C. Juergens, American Architect
Do not try to teach design. Teach principles...beware of architectural school except as an exponent of engineering...go into the field to see the machines and methods at work that make modern buildings...form the habit of thinking "why" concerning effects, challenge every feature, learn to distinguish the curious from the beautiful and get the habit of analysis.
Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect
