Hey group! We've been quiet for some time. What are some new/exciting projects you are all working on these days?
Amanda Christianson:

But Healthcare is definitely here to stay and offers tons of job stability. Anyone else find themselves changing fields lately, due to economy or otherwise?

I am a LEED AP (did it before the switch) and have numerous friends who are APs. I recently helped organize LEED CEU workshops through IIDA to explain the process, and it is actually fairly simple (similar to AIA, not as much like IDP) but now you have to work on a LEED project to keep your accreditation which many people feel is a good move since it's really about applying principles, not having letters behind your name.
Amanda Christianson:

That's a good reason for why they tightened up the requirements for testing, etc. with the ...MoreHear, hear... more than just letter behind your name!

I am involved in a little bit of a discussion in the 'Career Changers' group on the benefits/implications/etc. of being a LEED AP. It ' interesting hearing non-architects' takes on the accreditation.
How many LEED AP's are there in here? What are your thoughts?

In my experience, at least here in California, it is a good place to meet other professionals in the green industries, not just architects, and explore your options.

I'm in the Rocky Mountains, which has the resources of an isolated small town, but great skiing and oddly cosmopolitan environment. Weird fit, and difficult for me!

Hi! New to group. Recently laid off. My old firm specialized in modern custom residential, and was recently breaking into civic work (schools, fire stations) in the past few years. They have recently pared down their staff by 60%, leaving 3 people in the office. Leaving for me, is a blessing in disguise! I am looking forward to using my arch experience in new ways...

As for a favorite building, that's too dificult. Basically any structure that consciously alters one's view of the built environment.

Any opinions on the great question on the future of architectural practice - AutoCAD or Revit? Which one frustrates you less?
