About Us

We are Architects, registered under the Council of Architecture (COA), a statutory body established under the Architects Act, 1972. Without this registration, we cannot practice or call ourselves Architects. The COA ensures the protection of public interests, particularly those of clients, by regulating the profession.

The Indian Institute of Architects (IIA) is the only national-level voluntary organization for Architects in India. Established in 1917 as an association of Architecture students from Sir JJ School of Arts, it evolved into the Bombay Architectural Association and was later registered as The Indian Institute of Architects on 2nd September 1929. Affiliated with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1925, the IIA has grown from 158 members to over 27,000 members today.
