What’s most important to you as a building designer? [Monday Minute]

Do you often feel like you’re going through it all alone?

Like the challenges you face are unique to you?

No one understands what you’re going through, right?

I know how you feel. I feel the same way.

I found the solution, and I want to share it with you:

We are excited to announce the kick-off of the registration process for the annual Design-Build Day at Weber State University.

Their Construction Management, Facilities Management, Architecture, and Interior Design students interact with industry partners to find internships and job opportunities. They also invite 1000+ concurrent enrollment high school and technical college students from Northern Utah. This is the premier career fair event in Northern Utah, as all attendees will be taking courses relating to the construction industry.

Event Timing: Friday April 1, 2022 8:00AM – 1:30 PM
Event Address: 2750 University Park Blvd Layton, Utah 84041
 
Watch this video to catch a glimpse of what the 2019 event looked like (Watch for AIBD president Bernie Kern at 0:2:28). The only difference is that the career fair will be happening in the parking lot in 2022, and there will be 15-minute breakout sessions for industry/education partners to present to students in the ballrooms.
 
The funding collected to participate in this event will be used to fund scholarships and to pay for the food trucks that we will have on-site for everyone to enjoy.

A library of training videos provided by the Certified Training Institute (CTI), one of our newest CE Providers, now lives on AIBD.org.   

 

Each of the 25+ hours of training is identified and arranged according to the associated areas of knowledge and skills, according to the AIBD’s Building Designer Job Task Analysis (JTA), which is found on pages 39-43 in the CPBD Candidate Handbook.

 

There are four knowledge areas identified in the JTA – Business Administration, Business Practices, Design Process, and Building Design.

 

The new Certified Training Institute webpage currently includes instruction in only the first domain – Business Admin. But rather than waiting until all 56 CTI classes are uploaded, we’ll announce each of the parts as they go live (about two weeks apart).

 

Thanks to CTI, everyone wishing to become better skilled at their craft will have specialized training access.

 

Whether you’re a CPBD looking for approved Primary CEs, you’re preparing yourself for the CPBD exam, or you want to be the best you can be at what you do, bookmark AIBD.org/onlineCTI.

We’ve increased the discount available to AIBD members when registering for on-demand online education at AIBD.org/continuing-education. The normal price for a one-hour course is $50, and rather than AIBD members paying $35, that figure has been reduced to $21. That’s a $29 savings on each course. 

We said 60% off; it’s actually 58%, we rounded up.

One course per month (with a month or two off) means you’ve paid for your annual membership and more.

There are three ways to get ahold of the discount code.

Do you feel like people don’t recognize your designs as works of art?

 

Many buildings have an identifiable style, but it may be hard to pinpoint what makes them unique. 

 

It’s possible to create a design that will stand out from the rest and make you proud every time you see it. 

 

This course bundle will help you figure out how to do just that!

 

You’ll learn how to recognize the styles in architecture around us and use those features to create your unique look for any project. 

 

When people see your work, they’ll know who created it because of its signature style!

 

The AIBD Summer Conference Course Bundle is a collection of courses built for designers who want to become more knowledgeable about architectural styles and design. 

 

By taking these courses, you’ll learn how to recognize style characterized by the features that make a building notable or historically identifiable. 

 

You’ll also learn how your architectural style and work can become renowned and recognizable, what makes spaces around you unique, where architecture has evolved from (and why), and much more!
