Become an Affiliated Member

If you are not an architect but interested in improving the quality of the built environment in Aotearoa and meet the criteria, you may become an Affiliated Member.

Council may admit:

• any person who is not a registered architect but who is the employee of an Institute-member practice

• any person who is working in an allied profession such as urban design, building science, architectural studies or landscape architecture 

• any person who shares an interest of the Institute

An Affiliated Member will cease to be a Member in this category should the condition by which they were accepted for membership no longer apply.

Please note: Formal resignation in writing is required to discontinue your membership. No refunds will be given on notice of resignation. The Institute does not supply industry-related magazines, these are supplied by the publishers.
Initial registration as an architect takes time and your life circumstances may change (for example, becoming a parent or taking a career break). The architectural graduate career break recognises this and can only be used once.

Please advise us if your contact details change at any time. You can do this by logging in to the Members' section of the website, emailing us or calling 09 623 6080.
