Today the American Institute of Architects and Architecture for Humanity are excited to announce a major strategic partnership that will expand the industry commitment to disaster assistance and long-term reconstruction. Our two organizations each have different, but complementary strengths in this field and the goal of this agreement is to better serve architects that have an interest in mitigation, response, recovery, and resilience.
“Too many communities struggle after a disaster with issues related to the ongoing safety and viability of their built environment,” said Robert Ivy, FAIA, EVP/Chief Executive Officer of the AIA. "This partnership with Architecture for Humanity will help architects everywhere acquire the tools, training, and leadership skill to make meaningful contributions when their community needs them most.”
