Why Join AIAS?
Explore Detroit
LTU is in a hotspot called Metro Detroit filled with artists, thinkers, innovators and history-filled landmarks. Come explore with us!
Network + Experiment
Get to know freshmen to senior and grad-level design students all throughout the college. We share funny models, experiment with 3D printers and more.
Professional Development
AIAS Members have exclusive opportunities to gain interaction with design professionals. We will even set you up with an internship during Spring Break, and you'll have a group of peers to share portfolio best practices.
Competitions
Members can enter design competitions hosted by AIAS for free with top prizes sometimes up to $3000. View them here.
Skill-Share
AIAS Members historically have generally been ahead of their peers in design and software skills due to frequent skill-sharing. We explore cutting edge tools such as robots, drones, digital fabrication and anything else we can get our hands (and minds) on!
Service + AXP
Grow your presence as an LTU student in the community and perform meaningful service through design as supplement to your architectural courses.

​For 2020-2021, we have a lineup of both small projects and a large one (3D printed houses). Learn about Freedom by Design here.

You can even earn architectural experience called AXP hours which are necessary to be a licensed architect. Learn more about NCARB and AXP here.
