Support AIA’s Climate Action Goals: AIA 2030 Commitment and A&D Materials Pledge

As part of AIA’s ongoing robust commitment to strategic plan goals for climate action, AIA’s pledge programs (AIA 2030 Commitment and A&D Materials Pledge ) offer a call to action for AIA members to directly engage in tracking firm progress towards pledge targets, while improving design practices. This enables AIA to advocate and communicate the impact the architecture profession is making toward achieving a zero carbon, equitable, healthy, and resilient built environment.
 

View the AIA 2030 Commitment and Materials Pledge schedule of Open Office Hours to support firms in their reporting journey. Deadlines for reporting are March 31 for the 2030 Commitment and May 31 for the Materials Pledge.

AIA Responds to White House Memo on GSA Guiding Principles for Federal Projects

January 21, 2025

AIA supports freedom in design and is extremely concerned about any revisions that remove control from local communities or mandate official federal design preferences that hinder design freedom.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is aware of the recent Memorandum for the Administrator of General Services (GSA) regarding The White House’s request to review the GSA’s Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture. AIA is extremely concerned about any revisions that remove control from local communities; mandate official federal design preferences, or otherwise hinder design freedom; and add bureaucratic hurdles for federal buildings.
