I like your idea of Ascher continuing the series with books about airports, stadiums, etc.

Thanks for being on the tour!

This is a great question. I researched this question prior to posting the logos, and from what I understand, as long as the appropriate trademarks remain and you do not altar the logos in any way, you are free to use the LEED and USGBC logos for your own personal and commercial use.

We are producing a LEED for Homes sign to post at a LEED certified building. I hope to use the USGBC and LEED for Homes logo on the sign. Are there any permissions that are needed to use the logos?

Comment on The REAL Answers to Questions About NCARB’s Fees Increase by Jason

NCARB screwed up my transcripts when they entered them into their system resulting in a multi-month delay in getting registered to take the ARE’s. Then I was scheduled to take one in a week, but found out the practice software only works on outdated (non-64 bit) computers. This is so stupid I can hardly believe it is true. Please call them and demand that they stop sucking: 202-783-6500. Better yet call newspapers or congressmen or investigative reporters. Seriously. I am. The only reason these idiots are getting away with being inept is that we haven’t made a big enough fuss yet.

This is really upsetting, but thanks for posting it. I agree with aRCHITECTs that it’s particularly ludicrous given the recent economic downturns, job lay-offs, and student loan burdens that architects and aspiring architects have to face!

I cannot believe the cost of an exam – i took my last exam in 2009 and it was $95. Now it is over $200. And…..i went to download the practive exams and my vista 64 bit nor my windows 7 systems cannot surrort the great and mighty NCARB’s system! WTF! Does NCARB think any student in 2011 is using a computer from the ’90s? Todays kids are using windows 7….at least. I sure am glad NCARB is using the outragous fees wisely – NOT! Upgrade your frigging systems!

Comment on NCARB Sabotaging the ARE with Errors, Omissions & Quiet Corrections by Max

I failed the Site Design portion 2 times during the transition period ( I believe due to the same errors you have pointed out). There is something really wrong when this Oligarchy exists to hold people back from their chosen Career. I have much more to say on this matter…
