  • 1.  Young Architect Spotlight

    Posted 04-14-2020 11:19 PM
    Aloha Interior Architecture Knowledge Community,

    The Young Architects Forum of AIA National is looking to spotlight a "young architect" (10 years or less licensed) in the interior architecture field and is aiming to showcase the diversity of our membership by featuring those beyond our YAF network. Information from this spotlight may appear on the @aiayaf ​​social media platform and on YAF's digital publication, Connection.

    We are soliciting interest until this coming Friday, April 17th and hope to gather a written or phone interview before the end of this month.

    Please send me an email directly if you or someone you know is interested.

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for engaging IAKC.  What criteria has been established for spotlight recognition and what submission details are required by Friday?

    Thanks!

    Hi Susan,

    We (the YAF) have took an internal look at what we have been putting out on social media and our online publication and much of the content is driven by our committee or our personal contacts. We're using Knowledge Net as a bridge to connect with the greater membership to enrich content and diversify the greater young architect voice that we represent.

    A contact of yours reached out to me directly via email. We are mainly looking to know of interested individuals by Friday and will follow up separately with them for exact questions in the coming weeks. Depending on their interest focus, we have different topics throughout the year, such as climate action, citizen architects, practice innovation, etc. in which they could be best featured.

    Thanks for your help,

    Jason Takeuchi, AIA, NCARB
