Join Virginia Tech School of Architecture and Design for “Structural Technology for Practicing and Intern Architects.”  This course provides an overview of the fundamentals of the structural technology topics that every architect should be aware of. It also helps intern architects prepare for the structural portions of the Architect Registration Examination (ARE5.0) offered by the […]

Energy modeling measures and improves what an architect designs to minimize the life cycle costs of utility bills and equipment. It is an open conversation for what a building could become when all disciplines work together. Often, energy modeling is one of the most valuable tools during the early (or sometimes later) design phase of […]
