YAC is a association whose aim is to promote architectural competitions amongst young designers – no matter if graduates or students.
First YAC wants to propel research about design, by periodically suggesting tangible issues on Architecture and City planning. By so YAC wants to provoke reflections about physical places for human activities that everyday are becoming more and more unpredictable and dynamic. Second we want to endorse young designers’ creativity and talent by granting the best of them adequate prizes and good exposure amongst paper and web platforms. YAC wishes to revamp a design culture to pragmatically answer the issues on human action and territory comsumption. We wish many and different designers will join us in this challenge.
