10 years of YAYA
It’s still not easy being young
BD launched Yaya 10 years ago to showcase the work of gifted young architects, but we also keep watch over the carbuncles
10 years of winners
The first BD Young Architect of the Year recently won a £30 million building, while one of the 1999 winners now mostly designs fabrics. A decade on, Ellis Woodman looks at how the various victors have fared
