Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

The Association of Architecture Organizations (AAO) is a member-based service organization that connects not-for-profit architectural organizations and cultural institutions around the world dedicated to enhancing public dialogue about architecture and the built environment. Its programs serve over 110 members across 42 U.S. cities and 7 countries, including Canada, Czechia, Denmark, France, India, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Through online resources and discussion groups, as well as in-person conferences and other learning events, AAO seeks to increase the management efficiency of its member organizations; cultivate a shared sense of purpose among its members; and promote greater public understanding and appreciation for architecture and design.

  • The Association of Architecture Organizations' signature event is its annual Conference, offering participants 2.5 days of lectures, presentations, and skill-building opportunities relevant to spurring public dialogue on architecture and design. In 2023, AAO conducted a 2.5 in-person event in New York City in springtime, as well as a free 1.0-day online event in late fall.
