Association Of Collegiate Schools Of Architecture

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in architectural education. We strive to advance the quality of architectural education through our various programs, publications, and events. Our mission is to provide a platform for faculty, researchers, and practitioners to share their scholarly, creative, and pedagogic interests.

ACSA offers a range of services including conferences, competitions, publications, and resources. Our conferences provide a forum for discussing the latest trends and issues in architectural education, while our competitions challenge students to integrate various aspects such as health, sustainability, and equity. Our publications, including the Journal of Architectural Education, serve as a platform for research and commentary on architectural education.

One of our key initiatives is the advancement of equity and justice in architecture. We believe that architecture has the power to positively impact communities and the environment, and we seek to promote projects and research that prioritize social and ecological justice. Our resources library offers a collection of articles, letters, publications, and lectures that focus on these issues.

Through our programs and services, ACSA aims to create a community of scholars and practitioners who are committed to improving the built environment and the education of future architects.
