This site offers resources to members of the AIA and the public. Here you will find information about the practice of architecture and the role of AIA Architects in working with their communities to create a better future by design. The Columbus Chapter of The American Institute of Architects was founded in 1913. We are currently located Downtown in the historic Wyandotte Building, which was designed in 1897 by Chicago architect, Daniel Burnham. By advancing our shared values of Community, Knowledge and Advocacy, AIA members strive to improve the built environment.
