Welcome to YAAS (Young Architects Anonymous Society), the world’s finest (and only) sanctuary for architects, designers, and critics who need a place to vent, celebrate, or just laugh about the chaos of the architectural world. If you’ve ever cursed at AutoCAD, argued over Brutalism, or cried into your construction drawings at 3 a.m., congratulations—you’re home.
Bold and Brash:
We’re a collective of architectural misfits, dreamers, and cynics bound by a shared love for the craft and a healthy disdain for the industry’s more… shall we say, "eccentric" elements. Think of us as the group chat you wish you had during your third all-nighter in the studio.
Mission possible?
Our mission? To spotlight the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous in architecture. Whether it’s praising a firm for its eco-friendly skyscraper or calling out an office for treating interns like human plotters, we’re here to talk about it. Loudly.
Transparency matters: Architecture may hide behind glossy renders and buzzwords, but not here. We pull back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the "Oh my God, who designed that?"
Community is key:
Great architecture doesn’t happen in a vacuum unless it’s a vacuum cleaner museum. In that case, well done.
Humour heals:
If you can’t laugh at the absurdity of the industry (looking at you, starchitects), you’re probably in the wrong place.
Celebrate the Masters:
Got a firm that treated you like a human instead of a CAD monkey? Share the love on our "The Good" page.
Expose the Flops:
Worked somewhere that made you question your career choices? Vent about it on "The Bad" page (anonymously, of course—no need to burn bridges).
Spread the Word:
Stay updated with architectural news, trends, and the occasional bizarre building that looks like a piece of modern art threw up on itself.
Because every architect deserves:
Much like a concept sketch, we’re always a work in progress. One day, we hope to expand into:
