Dorf Nights at the AIBC

Building upon the success of ARE Preparation seminars offered in the past, the AIBC's Intern Architect Committee is excited to bring a new and visual ARE preparation resource to British Columbia. Insight - Demystifying the Graphic Vignettes of the ARE is Professor Norman Dorf's legendary seven-hour lecture covering every graphic vignette of the ARE. Broken down over several evenings, this video lecture series focuses on the vignette portion of the ARE examinations. (For a quick preview, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyQ9kWkAY7k).

Each evening will begin with a 40 minute video that introduces the exam tool, followed by specified vignettes. The schedule is as follows:
