The Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) is proud to announce the launch of a major survey aimed at capturing the perspectives, aspirations, and challenges of young architects and architecture students across the Commonwealth. This initiative underscores the crucial role of youth in shaping the future of architecture through policy, education, and training.
As the architectural profession faces unprecedented global challenges—ranging from climate change to rapid urbanization—the insights of young practitioners and students are more vital than ever. The survey will serve as a platform for young voices to be heard, ensuring that their contributions inform policies and programs designed to strengthen the profession across Commonwealth nations.
Hugo Chan, CAA Youth Representative emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating:
"The future belongs to the next generation of professionals. By engaging young architects and students in meaningful dialogue, we can foster an inclusive, forward-thinking profession that responds effectively to the evolving needs of our communities and those we design for. This survey represents a key step in amplifying youth perspectives and integrating their insights into decision-making processes."
The survey is open to all young architects, architecture students, and emerging professionals aged 18 – 35 from Commonwealth countries. Findings from the survey will be compiled into a comprehensive report, which will be shared with industry leaders, policymakers, and academic institutions to drive positive change in late-2025.
