(Updated as at 2013)
ARCASIA: INTRODUCTION
ARCASIA, the Architects Regional Council Asia, is a council consisting of the Presidents of National
Institutes of architects in the Asian region that arc members of the organization. The organization serves as an
extension for each Member Institute's regional programme and relations. This council meets annually to
deliberate and to give collective direction and representation to matters that affect the architectural profession in
the region.
OBJECTS OF ARCASIA
The objects of ARCASIA are:

To unite national Institutes of architects on a democratic basis throughout the Asian region to foster friendly,
intellectual, artistic, educational and scientific ties.
To foster and maintain professional contacts, mutual cooperation and assistance among member Institutes.
To present architects of the member Institutes at national and international levels.
To promote the recognition of the Architect's role in society.
To promote the development and education of architects to serve the society.
To promote research and technical advancement in the field of the built environment.
HISTORY
ARCASIA originated initially during the 1967 Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) New Delhi
Conference. An urgent need was felt for the establishment of a regional centre that would be concerned with
environmental design and unity among the six Asian member Institutes of the CAA. The six Asian
Institutes (the founding members) were India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The
proposal was for a Centre for Environmental and Technical Advancement (CETA) and for the establishment
of an ARCASIA Formation Council.
The First Formation Council (1969-1974) in September 1970 resolved that future assemblies of the National
Institutes of the Asian region of the CAA and ARCASIA be formally called the Architects Regional
Council Asia (ARCASIA). While recognizing the need for worldwide associations, the organization was
formed to enable closer working relationships between the individual Member Institutes within the region to
deal with matters that arc of more immediate importance to the region. Many of the current Members Institutes
of ARCASIA already belong to the Union Internationale des Architects (UIA) being an international
organization and integral with UNESCO.
In 1970 the Ikatan Arsitck Indonesia (IAI) participated as observer, in 1972 the Institute of Architects
Bangladesh (IAB) & the Association of Siamese Architects (ASA) became members; and in 1974 the United
Architects of the Philippines (UAP) came as observer and joined in 1977 as full member.
In 1979, ten years after the establishment of the First Formation Council in Hong Kong, the constitutions for
ARCASIA and the ARCASIA Board of Architectural Education (ABAE) were signed at the inaugural meeting
held in Jakarta with the following member Institutes in attendance:
Hong Kong Institute of Architects HKIA

Ikatan Arsitck Indonesia IAI
Pertubuhan Akitck Malaysia PAM
Association of Siamese Architects ASA
Singapore Institute of Architects SIA
United Architects of the Philippines UAP
The Architects Regional Council Asia became formally established and the acronym "ARCASIA" was
retained for the new council which is held as a Council of Presidents (or their representatives) of the various
national Institutes of Architects in Asia.
By 1980, ten Institutes had endorsed the Constitution and in August that year the first council meeting of
ARCASIA and ABAE took place in Bangkok. This set the precedence for the convening of regular annual
meetings at the various countries of Member Institutes.
In March 1981, the 1st ARCASIA Workshop took place in Manila. During this meeting, an ARCASIA
document on the International Code of Ethics for Consulting Services was proposed by UAP and by 1983,
all ten member Institutes endorsed the Code. This Code was tabled at the 1981 111A Congress in Warsaw, the
CAA Nairobi Assembly 1981 and was presented to the Asian Federation of Engineering Organizations and
the International Federation of Consulting Engineers. The Asian Association for Planning and Housing had
already approved the document. VIA approved the document in 1987.
The 2nd ARCASIA Council Meeting was held in Hong Kong in August 1981. Architects from Beijing and
Taipei met and attended as invited observers. At this meeting, Target Publication and Investment Ltd.
provided a sum to establish a traveling scholarship fund for architectural students. This was further supported
by a donation from a prominent architect in the Philippines. The scholarship was intended to enable graduate
students to travel and work in other Asian countries.
The 2nd ARCASIA Workshop also took place in Hong Kong coinciding with the 2nd Council Meeting.
Discussions were centred around professional practice matters such as limited liability and corporate
practice; inter-country working systems; mobility of architects; role of architects and codes of practice.
The 3rd Council Meeting of ARCASIA took place in Colombo in 1982 in which the first ARCASIA Forum was
launched.

amendments to the 1979 Constitution.
In 1984, the 5th Council Meeting and the 2nd ARCASIA Forum was held in Manila to coincide with its
first major international conference called the first Asian Congress of Architects, or ACA-1. The conference
became an important milestone for ARCASIA. The unique format of the conference provided an
extraordinary mechanism for the intellectual and cultural exchange for the architects in the region.
In 1985, the 6th Council Meeting was held in Lonavale, near Bombay, in which the Korea Institute of
Registered Architects (KIRA) was accepted as a member.
In 1986, the 7th Council Meeting was held in Kuala Lumpur and coincided with the Second Asian Congress of
Architects (ACA-2) and ARCASIA Forum 3. There was full attendance in the Council Meeting by
representatives from all the eleven member Institutes and the two observer Institutes.
The 8th Council Meeting was held in Bali hosted by the IAI in 1987. This meeting was also attended by all the
1 1 member Institutes. The Council Meeting was followed by the ARCASIA Forum 4. The Council confirmed
that thenceforth the ARCASIA Forum would be held every alternate year, alternating with the Asian
Congress of Architects.
KIRA hosted the 9th Council Meeting and ACA-3 in Seoul in 1988. The Council decided in principle to admit
the Architectural Society of China (ASC) as full member. ASC joined ARCASIA in 1989.
The ARCASIA Forum 5 coinciding with the 10th Council Meeting was held in Bangkok in 1989. The first
draft of the ARCASIA Bye-Laws was circulated for comments.
The 4th Asian Congress of Architects was held at New Delhi followed by the 11th Council Meeting at Agra in
1990. The ARCASIA Bye-Laws were approved with modifications and the Council formally instituted the
ARCASIA Awards for Architectural Excellence to be conferred once every two years.
The 12th Council Meeting and Forum-6 were hosted by ASC in Beijing, China, in September 1991.
Amendments to the Constitution were made and the ARCASIA Bye-Laws were formally adopted by all the
twelve member Institutes in attendance. The idea of publishing a quarterly magazine, 'ARCHASIA' was
initiated and it was decided to bring out a book on contemporary architecture of Asian cities. ARCASIA
admitted the Macau Association of Architects (AMA), Japan Institute of Architects (JIA) and Union of
Mongolian Architects (UMA) as its Members. ARCASIA AWARDS for Architectural Excellence were
approved by the Council, based on the rules and regulations prepared by Arc. Sycd Zaigham Jaffery of IAP
and he was appointed its first Convenor.

a book on the works of Arcasia architects was discussed. The very First ARCASIA AWARD for
Architectural Excellence in Member countries was launched.

ARCASIA STUDENTS PRIZE
The Arcasia Student Competition was first conceive and organized by IAP (Institute of Architects
Pakistan) for the Students Jamboree held in conjunction with the ACA-5 at Lahore in 1992. Each Member
Institute conducted a Design Competition on a pre-determined theme to select two best entries from amongst
the Student Competitors in their home country and sent the winning entries for Exhibition to the Lahore
Jamboree as part of the events of the Asian Congress of Architects (ACA-5).
Formalization & JIA Support

The success of the 1992 Lahore 1AP venture prompted the Council and ACAE to decide at the 1993 Hong
Kong Council Meeting to hold the Competition on a regular basis in conjunction with the Students Jamboree
and the Asian Congress of Architects (ACA) in order to encourage Asian Architecture Students in the
Member Institutes. At this stage valuable support came from the JIA who agreed to sponsor this competition
and set aside an amount of Yen 300.000 (approx.USS 2900) as the First Prize for a travel grant for the
winning student. Other winners, if any, area warded Certificates only, by the organizers.
Objectives
The objectives of the Arcasia Student's Prize are :
to encourage the Asian Architectural Students to be sensitive toward
their own Architecture, the Architecture of their region. And to encourage a healthy design Competition
among the students of the Member Institutes.
The program also serves to acknowledge talented Asian Architectural Students.
ARCASIA FELLOWSHIP
Introduction
The nature of the constitution of the Council is such that, over the years. Most Member Institutes'
representatives attending Arcasia meetings were either Presidents of their own Institute or senior member of
their profession. Owing to this particular qualification of member Institute representatives to ARCASIA
meetings i.e. President or his representative and Chairman of Board of Architectural Education, most
representatives could only attend one although some managed to return for another, meeting. It was felt that a
means should be devised within ARCASIA to take advantage of the wealth and connections of past Institute
representatives not only to enable them to participate in ARCASIA activities but also to form a continuous
hard core of people enthusiastic about the cause and objectives of ARCASIA.
