What makes you go to work?

Last month at AssociateNews we started a series called "Joe Architect" with the intention of highlighting local and regional architects that do exceptional work, but often get overlooked in national architectural publications. These local firms make up a majority of the AIA, which means that there is a high likelihood that you, the Associate member, work there. We have received a substantial amount of positive feedback about the potential of this series to truly give credit where it is due, and also to share the values that make these firms unique and desirable places to work. Clearly if you want to write about the strengths of your firm, you believe that they are making a positive impact on their community.

If you're not looking for fame and fortune as architects, what makes you go to work and give 100% to serving the public needs of the built environment? Also, what values do you look for in a model "Joe Architect"? What makes you proud to be one of these (intern) architects?

6 Month Rule

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is proposing a resolution that would require interns to document their IDP hours every 6 months, otherwise they will begin to lose credit. This initiative is intending to help keep interns on track towards licensure by requiring them to pay attention to their IDP more frequently, and therefore point out potential areas that may be lacking in development before the intern has reached the three-year "finish line". The proposed resolution is meant to be beneficial to us deadline-oriented, occasionally procrastinating interns; But how will it play out?

Intern, supervisor, mentor or system administrator: If your "IDP-ological" clock was ticking today, how would it affect you and your individual IDP experience? Supervisors and mentors, if this rule were in place today, how would the interns that you influence be affected?
