Congratulations, and welcome to the architects section of the Academy for Emerging Professionals. |

The AIA uses the term “Young Architects” to refer to individuals licensed 10 years or fewer. It is important to note that this is not exclusive to those who are considered young in age. We are indeed a diverse group, and absolutely vital to the strength of the AIA. It is our responsibility not only to continue to learn and grow, but also to share what we have learned with our Associate and Student constituents. It is equally important to communicate to our seasoned and senior constituents who we are, where we intend to go, and what we need to get there. Our goal is to provide recently-licensed California architects with relevant tools and information to excel at our newly-achieved position and to prepare ourselves for the next step.

YAF Atlanta Design-Build Challenge |
|
The Young Architects Forum (YAF) of Atlanta is pleased to announce the 2010 competition entitled 10Up. We’re calling on young designers to step up to the 10Up challenge! Each year Modern Atlanta (MA) celebrates architecture and design with a week-long celebration around Atlanta. This year the executive directors and founders of MA have asked the Young Architects Forum of Atlanta to create a competition for a temporary outdoor installation which will act as a beacon and marker for the week of events. The structure is to be installed and operational during the MA events, currently planned for June 1-6, 2010. The project is not only to accentuate the series of events organized by MA, but will also be an event of its own celebrating young talents showing their work to the public. You can get more information here. |
