The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Architecture for Humanity announced a strategic partnership to coordinate advocacy, education, and training that helps architects make effective contributions to communities preparing for, responding to, and rebuilding after disaster. The partnership is focused on providing resources so more architects can utilize their skills in disaster response environments and better serve as leaders in their community.
The AIA and Architecture for Humanity partnership combine and enhance existing disaster related resources and develop new programs and education targeted toward AIA members, allied professionals, and the general public.
One of the first projects that the new partnership will offer is a grant program for local components and chapters. Both organizations are committed to developing and supporting local initiatives and the grants will help fund members to work with local government agencies on planning, training and other critical initiatives so that they can be prepared before disaster strikes.
