Our History
2026 marks a remarkable century of architectural leadership, community, and creativity for AIA in Hawaii. This year isn’t just about looking back — it’s about amplifying the power of design to shape community.
1926
AIA Hawai‘i Begins
In 1926, Honolulu listed 11 architectural offices and 29 registered architects. With no organization dedicated solely to advancing the profession, Hawai‘i’s architects set out to change that. On October 13, 1926, the AIA granted the charter officially establishing the Hawai‘i Chapter.
1926
The Founding Six
Six pioneering architects led the charge to form a local AIA Chapter:
- Hart Wood, FAIA
- Charles W. Dickey, AIA
- Walter L. Emory, AIA
- Marshal H. Webb, AIA
- Ralph Fishbourne, AIA
- Edwin Pettit, AIA
1989
Our Statewide Structure
In 1989, two local chapters were established under the AIA Hawai‘i umbrella. AIA Honolulu serves across O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Island, and Kaua‘i, while AIA Maui supports the growing architectural community on Maui.
2026
Today
In 2026, AIA Hawaii serves 850+ architects, associates, and allied professionals throughout the state. We offer continuing education to assist with meeting licensure requirements, advocate at all tiers of government on behalf of the profession, and provide opportunities to network and socialize with individuals passionate about architecture.
