The Danish Association of Architects (Danish: , abbreviated to AA), is an independent professional body for architects in Denmark.
History
The Danish Association of Architects was founded at the initiative of L. A. Petersen on 21 November 1879. The principal aim was to advance and promote architectural quality by influencing planning and design of the physical environment in the widest possible context.
Between 1951 and 2004, the Danish Association of Architects was part of the umbrella organisation National Association of Danish Architects (Danish: ; DAL/AA). In 2004, DAL/AA was demerged into the Danish Association of Architects, the Danish Union of Architects, and the industry organisation (now ).
Building
The association is based in the former rectory of the Reformed Church in Copenhagen. The building is located in the street ÃÂ
benrÃÂ¥. It was acquired by the property investment company Karberghus and put through a renovation in 2014. AA was formerly based in the Architects' House in Strandgade, Christianshavn.
