Hello Reader, You know how low-slope roofs are supposed to be snow magnets? Well, turns out it's not that simple. We've got a lot more to learn. This February, the A-Team is inviting you to crash our watch party. We're diving into 'Snow Retention for Low-Slope Roofs', a rad course brought to us by AIBD CEP - Ron Blank & Associates, on behalf of Anchor Products. A watch party isn't just about kicking back and having fun (although there's plenty of that). It's about creating a space where we can learn from each other, spark discussions, and apply what we've learned in real-world scenarios. The best part? You can earn your continuing education credits without shelling out for individual courses. AIBD's got you covered, and it's on the house. For those seeking AIA CEs, they are available as well. The only requirement is passing the 10-question quiz, which we'll lead you to. So mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 27, at 2:00 pm ET. Let's shake up the usual self-study routine and make earning those continuing education requirements a bit more bearable, and a lot more fun. Head over to AIBD.org/Tuesday-at-2, right now to register. Catch you then, P.S. - Give us a heads-up if you're coming (i.e., register), and we'll shoot over reminders so you won't miss out. Can't make it? No sweat. We'll send you a link so you can catch the video whenever you want. Register: AIBD.org/Tuesday-at-2 |

Hello Reader, Building designers often use bubble diagrams to plan and organize spaces, helping them create buildings and interiors that are both functional and efficient. These diagrams visually represent the program—basically, a list of all the spaces the building needs, along with their square footage and how they’ll be used. During the early stages of design, bubble diagrams focus on the functional aspects of the building. They lay out the spaces, their purposes, how they connect to each...

On this day in 2003 the exhibition “Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman” opened at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was the draftsman of draftsmen. No disrespect to the dozen or so of his paintings that survive, but the Renaissance had a fair number of great painters. But “draftsmen”? While those two might technically be on par, Leonardo holds a unique place for his output and its diverse subject matter–portraits, anatomy, machines, building plans, and...
