To ensure architects remain at the forefront of the industry, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) mandates the acquisition of Continuing Education credits or Learning Units (LUs). One area offering rich learning potential is the field of architectural signage. ASI is an experienced resource for architects looking to delve deeper into this subject and earn AIA credits. 

AIA Continuing Education credits serve as a measure of an architect’s commitment to professional growth. Each year, AIA members are required to accrue a designated number of LUs, with a subset dedicated to topics concerning health, safety, and welfare (HSW). 

Signage and Architectural Design

Signage is an integrative element in architectural design. Effective signage guides usability, ensuring end-users can navigate a building effortlessly; ensures safety, indicating emergency routes, hazards and regulations; and enhances aesthetics, acting as a design focal point, either complementing or contrasting surrounding architecture.

ASI, as a leader in the architectural signage industry, is well-versed in the interplay between architecture and signage. To facilitate architects in keeping up to date on the latest in signage trends and materials, ASI offers AIA-accredited courses focusing on the many facets of signage. These courses are tailor-made to provide insights while contributing to an architect’s LU tally.

Beyond theory, ASI provides on-site experiences, like facility tours, allowing architects and designers to grasp the practical aspects of signage production and implementation.

Continuous learning is a key tenant of architectural excellence. With a learning partner like ASI offering AIA-accredited courses, architects are able to explore the multifaceted world of signage. Not only does this cater to the need for LUs, but it also adds depth and dimension to an architect’s design philosophy. Interested in continuing education with ASI?
