About
Founded in 1948, the International Union of Architects (UIA) is a worldwide federation of national professional organisations representing architects across more than 100 countries and territories. Based in Paris, the UIA promotes collaboration, architectural education, professional standards and sustainable development in the built environment. It provides a global platform for dialogue among architects, institutions and policymakers, helping advance the profession’s contribution to society. Working through regional member sections, commissions and expert programmes, the Union supports knowledge exchange, responsible practice and international cooperation, including across its African region.
