The Académie d'Architecture (French pronunciation: [akademi daʁʃitɛktyʁ]) is a French learned society whose purpose is the recognition of architectural quality. Founded in 1840 as the Société Centrale des Architectes (French: [sɔsjete sɑ̃tʁal dez‿aʁʃitɛkt]; English: "Central Society of Architects"), the society was renamed Académie d'Architecture in 1953, reviving the name of the former Académie Royale d'Architecture, founded in 1671 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert.
