For Students: Why the BSA?

What is the BSA?
The simplest way to describe the BSA is that we are the Boston chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and of the oldest and largest chapters in the country! In addition to being your local AIA chapter, we are also a charitable nonprofit organization where we assist children, communities, and cities by using architecture and power of design.
The Boston Society for Architecture exists to improve the quality of life for Boston-area residents by championing innovation in the built environment. To achieve this purpose, the we activate our diverse and passionate network of around 4,500 members through a portfolio of collaborative initiatives that apply solutions that move us toward a more equitable and sustainable future. Join us as we build a just and sustainable Boston, together.
