AIA New York State is the voice of the architectural community and a resource for its members in service to society. It is American Institute of Architects New York State's (AIANYS) Mission to represent architects and the profession of architecture in government and provide services to the membership. Architects within the profession saw a need for representation, to achieve influence and maintain the integrity of the profession for their needs in governmental bodies.

The AIANYS Board of Directors come together as a means of a cumulative voice for the 8000+ members and oversee the various operational aspects and activities. The American Institute of Architects was founded here in New York by Richard Upjohn with the goal to "promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members" and "elevate the standing of the profession."
Services
The origin of most trade and professional associations can be traced back to one overarching need-a unified voice to advocate on behalf of a group of individuals who share similar interests.
Like many professional associations, AIA New York State (AIANYS), an organization of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), came into being out of the need to coalesce and amplify the concerns of the profession, the built environment, and the protection of the public's health, safety, and welfare.
Thus, the primary reason for the creation and organization of AIANYS was to provide its members, and the profession as a whole, with a credible voice in the halls of state government, Government advocacy continues to be the foundation for its existence today.
Government advocacy priorities are developed at the national and state level, through extensive input from member surveys and policy networks, such as AIA's State Government Network (SGN).
The AIA Government & Community Relations Staff work with volunteer leadership to identify policy trends which affect the profession across the country, and share knowledge and best practices for addressing issues on a proactive and reactive basis.
The laws and policies that most directly impact architectural practice are passed at the state and local levels of government.
AIA New York State, in collaboration with the New York State contracting agencies, created these awards in 2014 to provide a model of excellence for future state-funded building design and professional practice and advocacy.
There are two types of awards: Public Architecture Awards and Professional Awards.
The AIA New York State has recognized outstanding works of architecture through its Design Awards Program each year since 1968.
The program was instituted to celebrate, honor and promote excellence in design by New York State Architects for their creativity and imagination in solving design problems for their clients and to generate greater public interest in architecture.
Based on their collective, actual experience and research, Christine Bruckner, FAIA, and Greg James, PhD, will share their expertise in sustainability and wellness in design.
They will also discuss the value of using building energy modeling and simulation to improve air quality and energy conservation in projects.
Participants will be encouraged to share their solutions, experiences, and successes.
Our program panelists will discuss the current and future implementation efforts based on the experiences of the recent pandemic.
All are invited to join, but if you have taken this tour within 3 years, no credit will be issued.
The Saratoga Race Course is the oldest extant sporting facility in the country.
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation has done considerable work in the past two years in conjunction with the New York Racing Association (NYRA), to conduct a Cultural Landscape Inventory and Architectural Resource Survey.
Much of the tours content comes from this survey.
It highlights the historic development of the racecourse and the upcoming $125 million Capital improvement plans that NYRA is currently planning.
