Our Structure

THE AUA MEMBER INSTITUTES
The AUA member in a country is the most representative professional association of architects in that country. Each member institute is independent on a national level and, by means of its own secretariat, which is responsible to the AUA, assumes its relationships with governments, other Member Institutes and the Union itself. Through the payment of membership fees, the Member Institutes also contribute to the strength and wealth of the Union, as these fees constitute its main financial resource.
