The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) recently published the results of its Architecture Practice Analysis Study, a comprehensive analysis of the profession of architecture as it is practiced today. More than 1,700 participants, including practitioners, educators, interns, major consumers of architectural services and other professionals whose work interfaces with architects, contributed to this extensive survey. This study is available for review by anyone who would like to borrow it from the AIA Connecticut library.

Sponsored by the National Associates Committee

With your support, donations to this fund will be used to build on Jason’s efforts of promoting professional development and licensure by awarding ARE Scholarships in his honor.

All donations are welcome. Please download the donation form (PDF) for more information on how to contribute.
