History

Akademisk Arkitektforening was founded at the initiative of L. A. Petersen on 21 November 1879 with the principal aim to advance and promote architectural quality by influencing the planning and design of our physical environment in the widest possible context.[1]

Between 1951 and 2004, Akademisk Arkitektforening was part of the umbrella organisation Danske Arkitekters Landsforbund/Akademisk Arkitektforening, DAL/AA. In 2004, DAL/AA was demerged into the organisations Akademisk Arkitektforening, Ansatte Arkitekters Råd (now Arkitektforbundet) and the industry organisation Arkitekters Råd /now Danske Arkitektvirksomheder).

It was acquired by th property investment company Karberghus and put through a renovation in 2014. AA was formerly based in the Architects' House (Arkitekternes Hus) in Strandgade in Christianshavn.
