Young Architect's Forum

Who We Are
The Young Architects Forum (YAF) is a network of young architects and designers that strives to build community leadership and advocacy skills in Southwest Washington. The YAF promotes professional growth and leadership development for emerging professionals, including unlicensed architectural designers following traditional or nontraditional career paths, and architects within 10 years of licensure. YAF is associated with the AIA Southwest Washington, but welcomes all young professionals regardless of membership.
What We Do
YAF presents periodic happy hours at local restaurants or local architecture and construction firms. YAF is also invested in pursing a series of built design interventions, in order to engage and explore the potential of design in our built environments. Upcoming events will be posted to our Events page, and are open to any interested members. Check out our blog for other discussions on architecture and design and recaps of past events.
How To Get Involved
YAF hosts periodic membership meetings, which will be advertised on our Events page and to members via email. AIA Southwest Washington members, allied members, sponsors, and other design professionals are encouraged to join. If you would like to get involved with a specific event, have a suggestion for a event, would like to host firm tour, or have ideas for community projects please contact one of the leadership team members or aiasww.yaf@gmail.com.
2019 Leadership Team

YAF is always looking for new leadership, and we are always looking for more involvement from our members and the community.  If you have an idea you want to bring to the leadership team, please contact one of the team members below.  As a new group, we are always looking for ways to grow and give back to our members and community, but we need your help to do so, whether you are a designer, student, architect, contractor, engineer, or part of a business or organization, we could use your help to give back to the community.
