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.

    Topic: "Case Study of Madison Passive House"

    Summary: A Passive House located on a corner lot in the heart of Olympia.
    Welcoming with great street presence, this home is a beautiful fit in an
    established urban neighborhood near downtown. It strikes the balance between
    privacy for the owners and neighborhood engagement with its raised stoop,
    friendly front porch, carefully placed windows, and clerestory for a light filled
    interior. We will do a case study of the lessons learned, assemblies and details,
    mechanical systems, and the impressive performance of this certified Passive House.
