Initially focused on just physical accessibility, the scope of Freedom by Design was expanded in 2017 to encompass a wider variety of student-driven projects. A significant amount of support for Freedom by Design is provided by NCARB. NCARB offers both funding and mentorship for participants. CRIT

This suggests a progressive organization that is also respectful of its history. It includes an iconic "A" in

1425-401: The ( Great Depression ). The residual damage caused severe impact on architecture graduates trying to enter the field. Many left the practice of architecture entirely during 2007–2014.

In 1984, after a thorough self-examination, president Tom Fowler ( New York Institute of Technology-Old Westbury ) accepts the recommendations of the Special Task Force to review

1950-459: The AIA are concerned in the early years about a separate student organization. It is believed this will conflict with the objective of encouraging students to maintain their memberships with both organizations.

Subsequently, the firm resigned from the commission, and The Architects Collaborative (TAC)

2100-521: The AIA states, "[the student affiliations] of the past had not been as successful as had been hoped, and that it was feeling of the staff of the AIA that student organization structure was in need of improvement." Students leaders lobbied to convince the AIA board of directors that the ASC/AIA chapter system was the foundation for the AIA and for the promotion of future generations entering architecture. Final remarks made by student president Charles Jones ( University of Arizona ) on this matter foreshadow what

With rapid changes in technology, this critical and anticipatory document highlighted issues relevant to the future education and practice of the profession. The brief was intended to impact the 2008 review of the National Architectural Accrediting Board Conditions for Accreditation, citing opportunities for necessary and visionary change by way of major themes such as ecological literacy, social responsibility, global change, urbanism, diversity, technology, and culture (among others). 2009 president JW Blanchard ( Southern Polytechnic State University ) focused on ensuring

Two significant position papers on architectural education deficiencies and degree nomenclature are also presented to

3525-604: The architectural scene. During the Kent State Memorial Competition, Ian Taberner's award-winning proposal is rejected by the University "because he was not a citizen of the United States, as required by the design competition".
