CONSTRUCT is committed to helping Young Professionals advance in their careers and develop an active and dynamic voice in the industry by providing networking, professional development and mentorship opportunities designed specifically for professionals 35 and under. This goal is the basis for the partnership between CONSTRUCT and YoungArchitect.com.
YoungArchitect.com is a website dedicated to helping Architecture Students, ARE Candidates and Emerging Design Professionals be more successful. It was the brainchild of owner/founder, Michael Riscica, a Licensed Architect from Oregon. Mr. Riscica shares, “The inspiration for the site came after I became a Licensed Architect. There was a lack of support and guidance when navigating the years from graduating architecture school, until obtaining the license. During that time, I watched most of my peers flounder and many of them never became licensed or never found their way within the profession. The Profession of Architecture could be doing more to support the future generations of Architects. YoungArchitect.com is my response and contribution to be part of the solution.”
