Introduction
The AAI was founded in 1896 'to promote and afford facilities for the study of architecture and the allied sciences and arts, and to provide a medium of friendly communication between members and others interested in the progress of architecture'.

We sponsor a public lecture series and an annual awards scheme. In addition to our journal, we publish an annual book in the New Irish Architecture series based on the awards exhibition. Visit our online calendar to be kept up to date with AAI lectures, site visits and exhibitions. We also provide an email reminder service, so sign up now.
