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.

    After three days at the Newport Jazz Festival.  If architecture is an experience, it is not frozen.  Each time it is affected by time of day, season, weather, and the prevailing feelings of the experiencer.  In that sense it is equivalent to composed music.  On the face of it, architecture's sequences are not as predictable as those of music.  But I wonder if the neuroscientists' understandings of how we know or remember music and architecture are in fact different.  Also, it appears that, unlike music, architecture can exist outside of time.  But, then, we are unable to experience it out of time.  Though, I suppose, memories of music and architecture may both exist out of time.

    All of this said, improvisational Jazz is truly unfrozen music.
