Buildings don’t simply appear out of thin air. For those of us who work in the building design and construction industry, sometimes we wish it were that easy. Whether small or large, every building project is a delicate blend of concept, design, supply, and construction, with often hundreds or thousands of individuals vested in its success.

At the helm of any project is the architect. The architect plans, designs, and oversees the construction of the building. They are responsible for what happens, how it happens, and when it happens, and ultimately to “hand over the keys” to the owner of the building. Because of the important role that architects play in this process, continuing education is a necessary and vital part of an architect’s career. Like any professional occupation, earning a degree and becoming licensed to practice in your field is only the beginning, and the American Institute of Architects recognizes this.
