AIA (American Institute of Architects) Seattle is a membership service organization that provides the architecture community with resources and relationships to make a difference through design. AIA Seattle founded Design in Public in 2011, and partnered with Seattle Architecture Foundation in 2015 to open our Center for Architecture & Design near Pioneer Square.
AIA Seattle is small office that supports flexibility, creativity, leadership and the professional development of all of our staff. Currently (but not historically), we’re an office of all white women, which I like to acknowledge right away because that doesn’t reflect our equity, diversity and inclusion goals and values, and I’d love to see our applicant pool diversify! I’m happy to talk about the positions to anyone interested.
