I would like a seminar on the rules and regulations from the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners.
I would also like more practical subjects for seminars, for example the different kinds of sealants for tile, grout, granite, wood, etc. and everything we need to know about them.

Thanks for the feedback. I love the idea about the course on TBAE's rules and regulations. I started working on it a few years back and never wrapped it up so here is my incentive. Thanks. As for the "more practical subjects", the course we have coming up on "Tile & Stone" is an effort in that direction. For details on our "Tile & Stone" course, visit http://www.designarts.net/das172.htm

I have always enjoyed your day long classes, and even recently enjoyed split day classes covering two different subjects.

I would like to see classes representing architecture and landscape architecture just as much as interior design. Opportunities are endless to mesh the various licensed sides of the profession, who are really intertwined in making the overall design experience work.

I also agree with Ms. Gibbs that there are opportunties for classes covering current licensing criteria and business best practices.

I am glad to read you have enjoyed our courses. I think you are right on target with the idea of the multidisciplinary approach

Following the same path, we are in the process of becoming a USGBC Provider, which will give us an opportunity to offer courses to a variety of audiences around the topic of sustainable design. We trust this will help professionals better communicate and better work together on the many projects (LEED or not) they collaborate on.

The late Manuel León Ponce founded Design Arts Seminars in 1992 to share his vision and inspiration for design and architecture with colleagues in these vocations. Enormously gifted and with an insatiable appetite for the pursuit of knowledge in the fine arts, he was foremost a teacher and educator. His gifts for teaching were exemplified in his position of Associate Professor of Interior Design at Florida State University and recognized in 1991 and 1994 when he received the university's prestigious Excellence in Teaching award. Manuel León Ponce passed away on January 9, 2001, after a two-year battle with brain cancer. For more information regarding our founder, visit designarts.net
