​How to talk about architecture with clients and the public

While there is great respect for architects, there’s little understanding of what we do, or how our work affects others. Architectural practice constantly evolving. To move the profession forward, architects must work together to understand eachother and communicate our value.

It’s our job to help others understand what we do, and more importantly, why it’s important to them. We know that when we collaborate effectively, we can design and build better homes, communities and public spaces that benefit us all. That's why we're committed to creating a Blueprint for Better.
​

AIA offers a variety of resources dedicated to helping you explain your work and make an impact.

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.
