Constructive Dive
Nearly three years ago, Superstorm Sandy made U.S. landfall, bringing with it an estimated $69 billion of damage and nearly 60 deaths to coastal New York and New Jersey. While storms of Sandy’s size always deliver a mixed bag of water and wind damage, this storm’s legacy, particularly in the New York City area, will be the floodwaters that immobilized transportation systems, destroyed homes and businesses, and left one of America’s most vibrant economic hubs determined to keep it from happening again.

Today, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards released a new tool to help aspiring architects prepare for the new Architect Registration Exam 5.0, which will launch in late 2016. The Transition Calculator aids candidates in personalizing a testing plan to adapt to the test's new structure. Candidates can log into their NCARB account to import their current testing status to the calculator, which then shows how the exam divisions used in the current version, ARE 4.0, will change in the new ARE 5.0 format. The calculator also tracks expiration dates for each division to ensure the individual can complete the entire exam within five years, which is necessary to achieve licensure.

I have thought about this problem for most of my life and consider it a motive force — pushing and shaping my mental schemas to look for solutions. I wondered how we could shrink our cities to their smallest and most workable form.

Though U.S. news media show climate change and oil depletion as partisan matters of opinion, major institutions — from insurers to armed services — have sidestepped these conflicts to form plans of action. Architecture firms have codified sustainability principles into a straightforward set of best practices: embrace LEED standards and renewable products, or stay out of the way while engineers and bureaucrats handle it.

The early 20th century paradigm shift that came with replacing traditional ways of building by modernist design methods was a wrenching experience; it replaced centuries of cultural preference for humanly adaptive spaces, and imposed on us, instead, an acceptance of psychologically damaging ones. To undo the last century’s paradigm shift will be similarly traumatic for everyone involved in design and construction today.
