  • 1.  Standard of Practice

    Posted 03-04-2021 12:34 PM
    Here in Arizona, there is a requirement for good moral character, as stated in A.R.S. 32-122.01, to practice Architecture, which is loose enough to include the Federal definition of other Architectural services. I actually found that the law isn't commonly enforced in Prescott; it's really incredible how poor an Arizona Architect proved to be. Can we have the AIA's commitment to sustainability include only digital issues for all Arizona Architects?

    In a continued narrative on the context laws, I've produced a powerpoint establishing clear philosophical value for a Historicist consideration in Contemporary practice; the presentation is available for viewing on sapostrophe.com ; please contact for professional use permission. The professional genus study is available in parchment and not yet a stele form.

    ResearchGate now features A Look at Order: Establishment and Progression on theDailyTrotter's profile Seth Trotter. It is a clear step to reform the Architectural standard of practice by removing ignorance in Architectural style with more advanced genus structures. This is in parallel to the Federal Consumer Practice board proposal; style is the key to having the vogue of Architectural practice for the future, which includes revealing the significance of style in dry space.
