At the time of its founding, the main objective of the Société Centrale des Architectes was the organization of the architectural profession at a time when its status was unclear. In this period of intense construction activity related to the development of industry and technology, the major concern of the Société centrale was to define the nature and mission of the architect as an artist and qualified practitioner. Its legal status is as a recognized association of public utility under the terms of the law of 1901. Having achieved most of its original goals, the society renamed itself Académie d'Architecture in 1953.
