The Académie Royale d'Architecture (French pronunciation: [akademi ʁwajal daʁʃitɛktyʁ]; English: "Royal Academy of Architecture") was a French learned society founded in 1671. It had a leading role in influencing architectural theory and education, not only in France, but throughout Europe and the Americas from the late 17th century to the mid-20th.
