Institute of Classical Architecture & Art - Florida Chapter

The ICAA Florida Chapter was incorporated in 2006 in Tallahassee as a regional nonprofit partner committed to promoting and advancing the classical tradition in contemporary architecture, planning, and their allied arts and building crafts throughout the state of Florida. The Chapter is comprised of five districts in the Sunshine State. Each district is intended to grow as a grassroots foundation, bringing education, advocacy, and public events to each district and thus to the entire state. The Chapter is led by our 13 Member Board and serves our diverse membership of architects, interior designers, landscape architects, artisans, artists, craftsmen, contractors, vendors, students, and classical enthusiasts.

The Florida Chapter offers a wide array of programs and events that include continuing education courses, travel programs, lectures, and conferences. The Florida Chapter created the annual Addison Mizner Awards in 2012 to recognize new work in classical and traditional design, and celebrate the achievement of the finest practitioners in the fields of Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Urbanism, as well as in Craftsmanship and the allied Arts.

Additionally, the Florida Chapter seeks to benefit its constituents, whether professional or personal, by promoting like-minded projects and educational initiatives statewide and by directing the talent and resources represented by the dynamic membership roster. The Florida Chapter seeks to offer its educational programs as a partner with accredited schools such as the University of Miami School of Architecture, and seeks alliances with many allied professional organizations as well as partnerships with American Society of Interior Designers, American Society of Landscape Architects, American Society of Landscape Designers and non-architect home builders and designers such as The American Institute of Building Design. The Florida Chapter has also played host to events with The American Institute of Architects’ various regional Florida Chapters. These alliances help support the goal of making a positive impact on the built environment through the principals of the classical tradition in architecture and art.
