The Intern Architect Committee is pleased to once again bring two exam specific preparation seminars to Vancouver.

Structural Systems Seminar with Professor David Thaddeus (3-day seminar)

Professor David Thaddeus is coming to Vancouver to present his three-day intensive Structural Systems Seminar. The course will be held August 12-14, 2011 at the AIBC offices. This seminar offers three full days of workshops, mock exams and questions & answers that will focus on preparing Intern Architects for the Structural Systems division of the ARE 4.0. These workshops present techniques, strategies and skills that are invaluable to any IA preparing for this exam. Prof. Thaddeus has brought his seminar to Vancouver for the past four years and each one proved to be invaluable to the interns who attended. Registration is now open and available online.

Hines College of Architecture, University of Houston.
