Actually the way the award is worded is “talented young architects" not "hot young architects", but I bet it got your attention.

The A.I.A. announced Oyler Wu Collaborative (Dwayne Oyler and Jenny Wu) and Emergent (Tom Wiscombe), as its 2010 Arch Is_ winners.

Arch Is_ is a juried competition to select 2 talented young architects or architectural designers (or firms/collaborations) to receive a “Young Architectural Talent” award, give a lecture, and be featured in an online publication.

The jury composed by Scott Johnson FAIA, Principal of Johnson Fain; Christopher Hawthorne, Architectural Critic for the LA Times; Brook Hodge, Independent Curator; Hitoshi Abe – Chair of the Dept. of Architecture and Urban Design at UCLA.

There is a lecture, reception and panel discussion on Monday, April 5 at 6pm at Sci-Arc.

So ditch class or skip out of work early to fight the traffic and go. If all else fails stop by get some free food and a drink.

And because they are young there is even a face book page too. Check it out.
