PAVE THE WAY FOR YOUR FUTURE CAREER

The Institute’s Student Organised Network for Architecture (SONA) aims to advance the interests of architecture students, their education and the profession as a whole through the promotion of student work and thinking.

SONA members are the new wave of Australian design talent, and we’re set to support tomorrow’s architects with the resources to augment their learning and prepare them for their future careers. By becoming a SONA member, you will gain a better understanding on how the profession works and get the same access to valuable tools and information as the country’s leading firms and practices.

SONA is the national student-membership body of the Australian Institute of Architects. Members have access to a huge range of support networks and forums, information, resources, events, prizes and competitions. 

There are SONA groups active in all states and territories.
