“Like the Amber Book ARE course, the Amber Book CSE reviews the most essential concepts to help you prepare for the CSE. The information you will learn will help you pass the CSE and also be valuable in your everyday practice of architecture in California!” - California Licensed Architect The reviews are in. Amber Book’s CSE Prep course is already helping architects get licensed in California. If you have about 3 weeks to study this summer, you can study for your CSE this summer. What are you waiting for?

A recent survey by NCARB shows that the architecture profession is expanding and becoming more diverse: https://ow.ly/7tIr50Sz2H0 #jhparch #architecture #peopleoverplaces #diversity #NCARB

TIP: The Australian Institute of Architects has curated and grouped a list of Architecture news on their page, titled. 'Reading Architecture'. It's a quick way to stay up to date with industry news from multiple sources on the one page. You can thank me later 😉 #readingarchitecture #architecturenews #architectureaustralia

What Europe Can (and Can’t) Tell the US About Architectural Licensure https://lnkd.in/ggw2rwQZ #ArchitecturalLicensure #EuropeanArchitecture #ArchitecturePolicy

Architectural competitions are more than just a showcase of talent — they’re essential to the evolution of the profession. They provide a fertile ground for innovation, collaboration, and public engagement. By embracing the spirit of competition, architects can push the boundaries of design, creating spaces that are both meaningful and functional. In a world where creativity and practicality must coexist, competitions are the proving grounds where the future of architecture is forged.

🚨New CPD programme alert! 🚨 Part of Building Change’s mission is prioritising the context of architecture - how buildings fit into their specific environments - over relying on outdated principles. In January 2025, University of Limerick's LOCAL-GLOBAL CPD programme will focus on the local context of Limerick while also considering universal issues like climate change and the housing crisis. This programme will look at the materials we use and how we plan land use at a micro and macro level, aiming to create effective (and context-specific) responses to these challenges. Architecture should never be one size fits all!

Marking 10 years since our founder and director, Perit Antoine Zammit's pivotal contribution to the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE-CAE), we celebrate a decade of commitment to sustainable architecture. This document, embraced by all European architecture organisations, highlights the unique role architects play in energy-efficient building design and urban regeneration. As we face ongoing environmental challenges, the principles of responsible architecture are more important than ever. Let's continue to lead by example. #sustainablearchitecture #urbanregeneration #responsibledesign

In a Europe characterised by rapid #urbanisation, #climatechange and #social change, ACE sees itself as a driving force for sustainable and liveable cities and regions. #Architecture must be an integral part of the European agenda! Discover what ACE did for you in 2023 and our plans for 24! #architecture #quality #europe #advocay

To draw is to understand. The Historic American Building Survey portfolio is a resource every architecture student should be required to study.

What to Read This #Summer 📚 'High-quality Architecture and Built Environment: a Political Goal'. On the occasion of a workshop organised as part of the 2023 UIA World Congress of Architects CPH 2023, the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE-CAE) and the Region I of the International Union of Architects (UIA - International Union of Architects Region I) released a joint publication entitled 'High-quality Architecture and Built Environment: a Political Goal'. This publication puts the spotlight on recent policy initiatives, at EU and national levels, that support a high-quality architecture and built environment, as well as Baukultur. High-quality #Baukultur is about society’s responsible handling of its built environment and its architecture.It requires and implies an increased participation of society in care for, and development of, the built environment, but also quality-based processes throughout the life-cycle of projects. Baukultur is a holistic approach, which cares for and seeks to achieve a sustainable society, with quality of life and collective well-being for all.
