International Union of Architects
The International Union of Architects (UIA - Union Internationale des Architectes) was founded in Lausanne (Switzerland) on 28th June 1948, to unite the architects of the world without regard to nationality, race, religion, or architectural doctrine, and to federate their national organisations.
Over time, the UIA has become an accomplished non-governmental organisation, an incomparable professional network of architects that reaches all continents.
From the 27 delegations present at the founding assembly, the UIA has grown to encompass the key professional organisations of architects in 116 countries and territories, and now represents, through these organisations, more than 1,300,000 architects worldwide.
