Over 60 years of architectural journey
Zambia Institute of Architects (ZIA) was founded in 1954, as the Northern Rhodesia Institute of Architects (NRIA). It became the Zambia Institute of Architects in 1964 at independence. It was an association of Architects for a long while and the regulation and registration was done by Architects and Quantity Surveyors Registration Board (AQRB).
The Institute became a statutory body in 1995 through the enactment of the Zambia Institute of Architects Act, Chapter 442 of the Laws of Zambia.
