The Union of Architects of Serbia (formerly the Alliance of Architects of Serbia) is rooted in its work since the foundation of the Technical Society in 1868. After World War II, the Society of Engineers and Technicians of the People’s Republic of Serbia was formed in 1945, in which architects had their own Section. Subsequently, in 1951, the name was changed to the Alliance of Engineers and Technicians of Serbia, in which the architects has their own Association of Architects of Serbia, and after that the Alliance of Architects of Serbia, and from 2011, its name was changed to the Union of Architects of Serbia.

Throughout the years, prominent practicing architects and university professors were in charge of promoting and improving the work of UAS by actively participating in its activities, which earned its status in the architectural and engineering community, first in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia, and today in Republic of Serbia. As today Serbia is leaning towards its membership in EU, UAS is supporting this goal with numerous initiatives of international cooperation with European architecture associations and many European architectural offices.
