The aim of this paper is to demonstrate ideas and programmes of the Architectural Association which was established in 1847 by British young architectural draftsmen, Robert Kerr and Charles Gray by historical investigation through the writings and discourses on their concerns in the 19th century Britain. The ideas and programmes of the AA are as follows:
1. The background of establishing the AA was during the appearance of the notion of architectural profession in which the system of pupilage did not succeed very much, while there were many associations organized in order to promote and educate own members to become as gentlemen.
2. The ideas and programmes of the AA were to supply the room and chance for architectural education to capture the knowledge and philosophy through the scheduled discussions and lectures, as well as exhibition.
3. The AA as preparatory school for becoming architect was developing as modern architectural school after introducing the examination for accreditation of diploma.
