ADVOCACY
Architects impact the lives of everyone in the communities they serve. The architectural profession employs more than 275,000 Americans and it is part of the design/construction industry, which represents 8 percent to 10 percent of the U.S. economy. Architects need a strong voice on a wide range of issues from community planning, housing, sustainability, building codes, project delivery, historic preservation, and many other issues.
Through the AIA, Architects have a unified voice on issues important to us all.

AIA Message Book
Created by AIA National, this resource is designed to help you tell your architectural story; let the AIA Message Book be your guide for crafting clear, positive, and memorable messages to a variety of audiences and settings.
While there is great respect for architects, there’s little understanding of what we do, or how our work affects others. It’s our job to help others understand what we do, and more importantly, why it’s important to them. We know well that when we collaborate closely with clients, we can design and build better homes, communities and public spaces that benefit us all.
The Architect’s Voice: Advocating for Our Profession assists you in explaining the work of architects. It uses message points, statistics, and anecdotes that you can customize or share as examples with clients, civic leadership and community. Supported by a tremendous amount of research and developed with AIA members, this guide helps bridge the gap between architects and the public.
