Description

From humble beginnings after World War II, when architects were regarded merely as “draftsmen,” AAM grew into the leading professional organization shaping architectural creativity in the country. Today, it is recognized for significant institutions and events such as the Architectural Academy, the annual award for the best architectural project, and particularly BIMAS – the Biennial of Macedonian Architecture, one of the most important cultural events in the country.

Vision

Our vision is to elevate architecture to its rightful place in society by adhering to the best international practices and ensuring broad public engagement. Collaboration with public institutions and the Chamber of Authorized Architects is a key element in achieving this vision.

Mission

Much has been said about the importance of the Association of Architects of Macedonia (AAM) in the past, and nearly all opening speeches began with AAM. In summary, our mission is:

• Preservation of a 73-Year Tradition: Maintaining the continuity of the Association with a strategy rooted in our long-established path, while continuously adapting to emerging trends and contemporary developments in our society.
• Promotion of Quality Architecture and Professional Practices: Advocating for excellence in architectural design and fostering ethical professional standards.
