The UIA global network for young architects and students of architecture is being launched. All the UIA member sections were invited to designate two delegates, and a great many of our member organisations responded with candidatures of talented young architects and students to represent their country. The UIA Bureau members reviewed the candidatures, and chose from among them a committee of young architects and a sub-committee of students in architecture, made up of five members each (one delegate for each UIA region). A reporter, Marine de la Guerrande (France), and a coordinator, Joseph P. Lai (USA), were also selected. They will be invited to the next UIA Council session in Durban, in August 2014, and charged with developing a structure to stimulate and enrich exchange among the various delegates. Following Durban, the committees will have one year to define the network’s working structure and methods and create a programme of activities. A Facebook page has already been created. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Young-Architects-Students/405974536206887
