The Architects Regional Council of Asia (ARCASIA) is the only organisation of architects working for the upliftment of the profession in the Asia Region. The affairs of ARCASIA are looked after by its council, which consists of its office bearers and presidents of the member institutes. The council also appoints various specialised committees to address specific issues related to the profession of architecture.
