Who we are

The Young Architects Forum (YAF), a program of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the College of Fellows (COF), is organized to address issues of particular importance to recently licensed architects.

FAQ: What is a young architect and what is an emerging professional? Young architects are architects licensed up to ten years of initial licensure, and the name does not have any relationship to age. Emerging professionals are professionals who have completed their academic studies up to the point of licensure or up to 10 years after completion of their academic studies. Although young architects are now defined as distinct from emerging professionals, many components refer to these groups similarly. For example, a local YAF group may include emerging professionals and a local Emerging Professionals Committee may include young architects.

    Let's do some quick math. Minecraft was released in 2009, has over 40 million players per month, and has an average player age of 15 years old. Assuming the average players were 15 in 2009, today these "Minecraftineers" are roughly 22 years old. Prepare yourself Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) community, things are about to change.
