The Architectural Association School of Architecture, more usually known as the AA, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential schools of architecture[1]. It is the most prestigious and selective architecture school in the United Kingdom. Its wide-ranging programme of exhibitions, lectures, symposia and publications have given it a central position in global discussions and developments within contemporary architectural culture. Many of the world's most celebrated and respected figures in architecture and its associated fields 'have been here [the AA] (sooner or later)' as a plaque outside the school entrance proclaims.

It is the oldest independent school of architecture in the United Kingdom and was founded in 1847 by two dissatisfied young architects (Robert Kerr, 24, and Charles Grey, 24), to provide a self-directed, independent education at a time when the profession of architecture had yet to appear in the form we recognise today. The School was formally established in 1890. In 1901, it moved premises to the former Royal Architectural Museum. In 1920, it moved again, to its current premises in Bedford Square, central London (it has since acquired additional London premises in John Street and a 350-acre site at Hooke Park in Dorset). The school has also acquired property on Morwell Street behind Bedford Square, which it uses as studio space and there are plans for further expansion.

Many notable architects have since passed through its doors as its former staff and alumni list shows. The students of the AA have been addressed by many eminent figures, from John Ruskin and George Gilbert Scott, to more recently Daniel Libeskind, Richard Rogers, Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas.

建築聯盟學院（Architectural Association School of Architecture），是英國最老的獨立建築教學院校。常簡稱為AA或AA School of Architecture。有時亦翻做建築協會學院、AA建築學院，英國建築聯盟或英國建築學院。

該校的成立理念最早來自於1847年，兩位不滿學院派建築教育的年輕建築師的發想，分彆是當時19歲的Robert Kerr與24歲的Charles Grey。成立當時目的是為瞭提供有心學建築的學子，一個獨立設計的教育係統，不需他們擁有基礎建築教育。該校當時的師資都是一時之選，諸如約翰·拉斯金與喬治·吉爾伯·史考特（George Gilbert Scott）。

1890年到1901年間，該校的教育係統逐漸成形。在1901年，校址移動到前英國皇傢建築博物館的館址。在1920年，再度遷移到英國貝得福得廣場（Bedford Square），也就是在倫敦的市中心。如今校史已超過150年，校友遍布全球50個國傢。

AA的課程被規劃為兩大區，一是大學課程，授與AA文憑學位；二是畢業後課程，主修可有景觀設計、城市設計、環境設計、建築史和理論、綠色建築、節能建築、設計研究室等。該校特彆而且先進的課程吸引瞭不少頂尖的建築師前來授課，且履次參與國際性的建築設計案，將建築學的探險開拓到新的領域。AA的知名度同時也來自於特殊的學校係統，它是位與英國國立大學係統之外，相較下學費高昂的私立院校。歐盟以外國傢的國際學生另得付較高的學費，但相較於其他昂貴的英國私立院校，AA的教育係統還是具有相當的競爭力。所以該校的國際學生數量比其他英國建築學校的還要多。
