The committee groups benefit from your unique skills, fresh ideas & different points of view. Your input enriches the committee's work. The more people get involved, the greater our effectiveness & impact. Committee participation is a win-win!

Custom Residential Architecture Network (CRAN)
AIA Knowledge Community
If you practice residential architecture for individual homeowners, whether you work on bathroom or kitchen remodeling projects, additions to existing residences, or ground-up new homes, you are doing “custom” work and are part of CRAN. Inclusivity is of the greatest importance to the CRAN leadership and the future growth of CRAN. We are a “style-blind” group which recognizes and accepts all types of residential architecture design idioms and practice models for its members.
CRAN has been establishing regional and individual city chapters across the country within the AIA to grow its membership and provide a results-based platform to fulfill its mission of supporting, advocating and educating its members. .
