Delta Shelter by Olson Kundig Architects
Delta Shelter. A weekend cabin in Washington state by Olson Kundig Architects of Seattle. The house is raised on stilts to avoid periodic flooding of the nearby river, and is capable of being completely shuttered when not occupied. (The steel shutters can be closed from inside using a single hand crank - how cool is that?)

To some degree I agree with your post, but I have to say why not get inovlved? I was dismayed with the lack of Young Architect support in my local chapter, so I signed up for a leadership position. Four years later we have a very healthy group of YAF members and great support from our section. I also took this on at the state level and have been encouraged with the direction.Its easy to criticize from the outside, and much of your criticism is valid, but you get out of it what you put into it. If you are dismayed with the small firm support the best way to be heard is to get inovlved, ask questions of your president, of your component leaders. There are many other topics that I believe the AIA shows their support of our profession, but that would be a seperate blog.Great topic!
