AIA Facebook Young Designers Challenge
The AIA is hosting its first ever design competition on Facebook—the AIA Facebook Young Designers Challenge. The competition is targeting emerging professionals, and is open to all AIAS members, all Assoc. AIA members, and all AIA young architect members. (The AIA defines young architects as being licensed 10 years or less.)
The AIA is asking designers to submit new, unbuilt building projects that address America’s most pressing design needs for the 21st century. This can include, but is not limited to: sustainability, public infrastructure, affordable housing, retrofitting suburbs and other resource-intensive built environments, urban farming, and rehabilitating dilapidated urban cores. This requirement is intentionally flexible. The most important factor is that each design offers an innovative solution to a concrete and unsolved problem. The winning designer will be announced in AIArchitect with a feature article on their design in January.
For more information, go to the competition’s website in Facebook.

The American Institute for Steel Reclamation is a beautiful project with thought provoking imagery and a strong concept about the role of steel recycling in the heavily auto-run USA. The project takes into consideration the future, and plans ahead. A high integration of sustainable elements also adds to the overall design of the project, making it a net-zero structure, a strong idea developed from schematic design until finalization.
Designed by 2 students, 1 who is a LEED AP, the other who won “Best Thesis Project”, the American Institute of Steel Reclamation is the perfect embodiment for a Young Designer Challenge.
