About Us
What We Do
RIBA-USA was formed in 1997 to represent and amplify the work of over 400 RIBA Chartered Members living and working in the United States.
Healthy Lives
Health Places
Our primary mission is to conduct programs that educate public and private sector leaders on architecture’s decisive role in improving social, economic, and environmental conditions that impact the wellbeing of millions of lives.
RIBA United States Chapter
We are continuing our work with a focus on climate change mitigation through the creation of better, healthier, and more efficient built environments supporting a wide array of cultural, commercial & educational endeavors.
Non-profit
Transparency
RIBA-USA is part of the Americas Region of the RIBA and a tax-exempt organization authorized under the provisions of section 501.c.3 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. We are a non-profit entity.
Get Involved
Architects do a great deal more and deliver a great deal more value than popular media would have people think.
Work
Showcase
Our world needs better ways of creating shelter and environments for an ever-expanding array of human endeavors, from basic housing to education, commerce, and community development.
Community Connections
Our educational programs are geared not only to the continual professional development of our Members but also to enrich the understanding of allied legal, accounting, and business professions that often drive much of what architects do and the projects on which they work.
