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.

    This is a wonderful show about Indian and other Asian architecture at MOMA in NYC.  I have heard that much-loved architecture is being destroyed in India nowadays under government auspices.  This show closes on July 2.  I hope everyone who can will get to this show before it closes.  Maybe it will inspire COD to make a trip to India and, maybe while there, make the case for saving some architecture of great merit.
