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.

建筑联盟学院（Architectural Association School of Architecture），是英国最老的独立建筑教学院校。常简称为AA或AA School of Architecture。有时亦翻做建筑协会学院、AA建筑学院，英国建筑联盟或英国建筑学院。

该校的成立理念最早来自于1847年，两位不满学院派建筑教育的年轻建筑师的发想，分别是当时19岁的Robert Kerr与24岁的Charles Grey。成立当时目的是为了提供有心学建筑的学子，一个独立设计的教育系统，不需他们拥有基础建筑教育。该校当时的师资都是一时之选，诸如约翰·拉斯金与乔治·吉尔伯·史考特（George Gilbert Scott）。

1890年到1901年间，该校的教育系统逐渐成形。在1901年，校址移动到前英国皇家建筑博物馆的馆址。在1920年，再度迁移到英国贝得福得广场（Bedford Square），也就是在伦敦的市中心。如今校史已超过150年，校友遍布全球50个国家。

AA的课程被规划为两大区，一是大学课程，授与AA文凭学位；二是毕业后课程，主修可有景观设计、城市设计、环境设计、建筑史和理论、绿色建筑、节能建筑、设计研究室等。该校特别而且先进的课程吸引了不少顶尖的建筑师前来授课，且履次参与国际性的建筑设计案，将建筑学的探险开拓到新的领域。AA的知名度同时也来自于特殊的学校系统，它是位与英国国立大学系统之外，相较下学费高昂的私立院校。欧盟以外国家的国际学生另得付较高的学费，但相较于其他昂贵的英国私立院校，AA的教育系统还是具有相当的竞争力。所以该校的国际学生数量比其他英国建筑学校的还要多。
