ARE Prep
Beginning February 2009, The AIA New York Chapter and it's Emerging New York Architects committee (ENYA) launched a pilot Boot Camp Review program to get intern architects in shape for the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). In the summer 2009, AIANY added graphic vignette workshops to its class offerings. This year we have added to other sessions, one a 3-day workshop with David Thaddeus in preparation for the Stuructures Division of the exam; the second a screening of the full Norman Dorf Insight Video series. Please see details on all programs below as well as information on our ARE study materials lending library.
