Welcome

Become a Member of the Northwest Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in Italy.

Twenty-eight years after its formation, NIAUSI has become a member-supported organization, an initiative that has been planned for several years.

***

The Northwest Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in Italy (NIAUSI) is a non-profit corporation established in 1981 by academics, architects, students, Italians, and professional members of the Pacific Northwest design community.  

Originally intended as a means of involving the professional community in the learning experience provided by the Italian Studies Program of the University of Washington's College of Architecture and Urban Planning, NIAUSI's purpose has evolved and expanded to include working toward a better understanding of the complex urban design issues we face in the Pacific Northwest, promoting cultural exchange and excellence in the design quality of the built environment.
