The Association began in the year 2000, when a small group of registered architects came together to share common concerns and challenges faced in their professional practice.
With a shared vision, one of the earliest initiatives of ANA was voicing the need for development controls and building bye-laws in the state. The Association was led by Lt. Ar. Kedayhu Kent as its first president and Ar. Chenithung as vice-president.
“Since then, ANA has grown to over 120 registered architect members, serving in capacities as policy makers, government employees, private practitioners, and entrepreneurs. Under the theme “Celebrating Community, Nurturing Creativity,” this jubilee honours the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and design excellence that has guided ANA through the years,” expressed the Association.
