Eligibility
This award, in honor of the late Whitney M. Young Jr., who challenged the architectural profession to assume its responsibility toward current social issues, is conferred by the AIA Board of Directors on an architect or architecturally oriented organization in recognition of a significant contribution toward meeting this responsibility.  The type of social issue is purposefully flexible to remain eternally relevant.  Current issues include, for example, housing the homeless/affordable housing, increased participation by minorities or women in the profession, access for persons with disabilities, and literacy. Members of the AIA Board of Directors, a component, or a knowledge community may nominate architects or architecturally oriented organizations. Current members of the Board are not eligible for the award.
