I am in the process of fulfilling IDP requirements and studying for/taking ARE exams in order to get licensed. I am most interested in expanding my range of knowledge on layout of and procedural differences between building types not yet experienced or briefly encountered, understanding the many ways in which a building can physically go together, specifically at the detail level - such as joints and connection between different materials, and dealing more intentionally with sustainable issues/green initiatives.
