2015 AIA Georgia Design Awards at American Spirit Works, Atlanta Photo Credit: Eric Smoak (2015) ABOUT AIA GEORGIA From small towns to big cities, architects design the neighborhoods where we live, the buildings where we work, and the places where we play, celebrate, and reflect. Founded in 1906, the Georgia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects grew from a group of 4 talented minds to over 2,100 professionals. Our mission is to be the voice of the architectural profession and a resource for its members in service to society. AIA Georgia's members are divided within seven local chapters: Atlanta, Augusta, Golden Isles, Middle Georgia, Savannah, Southwest Georgia, and West Georgia. With your $500 allied membership, you will make up a professional, complementary network with exclusive access to the AIA Georgia community and send a message that good design matters.
