Boston Society of Architects

Since 1867, we’ve served as a gathering place for people who believe in architecture as a force for good. A vibrant community where discovery, debate, and bold new ideas lead to real change. Now, with over 4,500 members, we’re the second largest chapter of the AIA.

We advocate fiercely for the architects, designers and residents of eastern Massachusetts. We provide them with the resources, support, and welcoming community they need to thrive, and to shape the built environment we share.

Explore our programs to see us in action, and help design a better future.

We help architects and designers grow their careers, strengthen their practice, and connect with a vibrant professional community shaping Greater Boston.
