July Themed Reading: Build Your ARE Study Arsenal

Looking to strengthen your ARE study arsenal? This month, MSA Design is sponsoring Problem Seeking: An Architectural Programming Primer by William M. Peña and Steven A. Parshall. This resource explores the architectural programming process and provides valuable insight into understanding project goals, client needs, and design criteria. Recommended by MSA Design as a valuable addition to an emerging professional’s study library.

For your next study session, pair it with:

Cold Brew Coffee – Smooth, focused energy for tackling complex concepts.
Matcha Latte – Balanced and steady, perfect for a productive afternoon.
Blueberry Lemon Sparkling Water – Crisp, refreshing, and ideal for keeping your mind sharp.

A huge thank you to MSA Design for sponsoring this month’s title! MSA Design is committed to investing in the next generation of architects by supporting emerging professionals, promoting lifelong learning, and encouraging the pursuit of licensure. Their recommendation of Problem Seeking reflects their belief that strong projects begin with thoughtful planning, collaboration, and a clear understanding of client goals.
