The Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) has announced the launch of a survey aimed at capturing the perspectives, aspirations, and challenges of young architects and architecture students across the Commonwealth countries, including Canada.This initiative aims to highlight the crucial role of youth in shaping the future of architecture through policy, education, and training.With the architectural profession facing global challenges from climate change to rapid urbanization, the insights of young practitioners and students are very important. As a result, the survey will serve as a platform for young voices to be heard, and ensure that their contributions inform policies and programs designed to strengthen the profession across Commonwealth nations.The future belongs to the next generation of professionals. By engaging young architects and students in meaningful dialogue, we can foster an inclusive, forwardthinking 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, said Hugo Chan, youth representative of the CAA.The survey is open globally to all young architects, architecture students, and emerging professionals from the ages of 18 to 35, but will have a particular focus on Commonwealth countries.Findings from the survey will be compiled into a report, which will be shared with industry leaders, policymakers, and academic institutions to drive positive change in late 2025.The CAA invites all eligible participants to take part in this initiative. The survey can be accessed here and will remain open until June 30, 2025.The post The Commonwealth Association of Architects launches survey for students and emerging architects appeared first on Canadian Architect.
