Testimonials

Green Design vs Historic Preservation

I really enjoyed Roy Pachecano's class on "Green Design vs Historic Preservation" . It was very informative and inspiring. With the economy the way that it is, I am trying to find ways to reinvent myself as an Architect. Your class gave me much to consider. You gave me a renewed appreciation of our core values. I look forward to attending more of your seminars in the future.
Thank you.

Zoning and Its Impacts on Architecture And the Community

"All architecture projects impact communities. Some build communities, some harm them. You will analyze the various aspects of zoning and its impact on architecture and the community, and learn how zoning laws are created in order to minimize any negative effect to the public health on architectural developments. Topics include: bulk and use zoning concepts; the technical aspects of zoning that are a part of all new developments and construction (e.g., sky exposure plane ratios, set-back requirements, and yard requirements help maintain ventilation and light/air for communities); the various infrastructure and light/air needs of residential and commercial developments and how the zoning resolutions deal with these; shadow analysis scenarios and the impact of community review on the construction process; variances and zoning changes; and how the community is able to respond to an architectural project and comment in public hearings and reviews." - Pratt Catalogue, Pratt Course # PMPD 900  7 AIA HSW LUs.
