ARW Botticini+Facchinelli’s Post

A world Architecture Day perspective. Dear UIA - International Union of Architects Council, As an architecture student, I appreciate the UIA's efforts to celebrate young architects and provide opportunities such as the upcoming UIA Young Architects Competition. However, while the theme of empowering the next generation is inspiring, I feel compelled to voice my concern regarding the broken architectural systems that many young architects face today. Despite the rhetoric of inclusion and participation, the harsh reality for many young professionals is a financial struggle that forces them to divert from their passion for architecture. The systems in place often do not offer the economic stability, mentorship, or opportunities needed to thrive. The profession has increasingly become inaccessible due to exploitative practices, inadequate pay, and a lack of proper support networks. These systemic issues have left many young architects disillusioned and financially unstable, leading them to abandon the field or pursue alternative careers where they feel more valued. The call to action for young architects to participate in urban design and contribute to sustainable development is ambitious, but how can we fully engage when the foundation we stand on is fragile? The profession needs reform beyond competition announcements and symbolic celebrations. We need to address issues such as fair wages, healthy work environments, and meaningful mentorship, ensuring that young architects are not only empowered to create but are also able to thrive financially and personally in this field. While I applaud the UIA’s commitment to showcasing young architects' ideas, let us also ensure that these same architects have the support necessary to build resilient careers within the profession. We must fix the broken systems that are holding us back. Respectfully submitted. To all the young architects out there: Your creativity and passion are essential in shaping the future, but never forget to advocate for your worth. While we are called to build sustainable cities, let us also build a sustainable profession for ourselves one that values our work, time, and potential. Stand strong, push for reform, and together we can reshape not only the urban landscapes but also the architecture systems that support our careers. #architecture #youngarchitects #worldarchitectureday #sustainableprofessions #youngprofessionals

The theme of World Architecture Day 2024 is, ‘Empowering the next generation to participate in urban design’. This theme highlights the important role of young architects in the design of tomorrow’s cities and their contribution to urban transformation. This year’s event will focus on key issues such as energy efficiency, waste management, the use of sustainable materials and improving urban mobility. The aim is clear: to design greener, more environmentally-friendly cities, while promoting sustainable economic growth.

World Architecture Day 2024 highlights urban issues, promotes the construction of more sustainable and equitable cities for everyone. Every year on the first Monday of October, World Architecture Day emphasises architecture's strategic impact in creating our surroundings. Organised by the International Union of Architects (UIA), since 1986, the congress aims to stimulate dialogue on architectural innovation and the accompanying demands faced by today's architects. The theme for this year is “Empowering the Next Generation to Participate in Urban Design,” which calls to embrace urban design that will benefit generations to come. It emphasises the contributions of young architects in creating sustainable, inclusive cities that meet the diverse needs of today's society. #MadamArchitect #WorldArchitectureDay #2024

Our Principal Lesley Aron Schmerzler AIA at the The American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2024 Tennessee Conference! The theme of this year’s conference was “Grounding.” Through this motif, the event aimed to explore both architecture’s physical relationship to material flows and resources within ecological systems, as well as architecture’s intangible relationship to history, memory, and lesser-acknowledged cultural contexts. The 3-day conference covered a variety of topics within design and development through thought-provoking discussions led by speakers such as Principal Shannon Nichol, FASLA, PLA, LEED AP of GGN, Professor Kiel Moe, FAIA, FAAR of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Co-Founders Eric Höweler, FAIA, LEED AP and J. Meejin Yoon, AIA FAAR of Höweler+Yoon Höweler+Yoon Architecture, LLP, and more. #AIA #Architecture #Design #NYC #Tennessee #LEED #FAIA #DesignExcellence #ModernArchitecture #InnovativeArchitecture

Balancing the old and the new! Studies on integrating traditional architecture with modern needs, like in Portugal’s urban centers, show how heritage can inspire adaptive and functional design. How do you blend history with innovation? 🏘️ #HeritageArchitecture #CulturalDesign #Innovation
