The Emerging New York Architects (ENYA) American Institute of
Architects (AIA) New York Chapter is one of the most active young
architect groups in the country. At the national level, ENYA falls
under the umbrella of the Young Architects Forum, an AIA Knowledge
Community that provides national advocacy and leadership for the group.
In conjunction with the AIA New York Chapter, ENYA develops its own
programming that addresses issues specific to the New York City
audience.
AIA National defines membership in young architects groups as open
to “all professionals ten years or less from licensure.” However, ENYA
is an-equal opportunity committee and welcomes participation from
anyone willing to promote the positive development of the profession
and its practitioners. ENYA strives to meet all skill levels,
scholastic backgrounds and professional interests, and hosts programs
of general interest to all architects. In this way, ENYA will continue
to educate, expand and improve the understanding and interpretation of
New York City’s architectural environment with a focus on topics of
interest to young architects.
