Second or Third Architect?

Some client relationships end before the project has progressed or while in the middle of a phase, and another architect must be engaged to resume the project. While gaining a new client is generally a desirable thing for a practice, careful consideration must be employed before accepting a job for which the new architect is perhaps a second or third professional to be engaged on the project. Such situations may indicate a difficult owner or untenable project conditions. What must the architect do before accepting work from the owner?

AnswerDetermine whether any agreement is still in effect between the owner and another design professional. This could include either a formal or informal accord. The prior relationship must be severed before the new architect accepts the work.

Calculate Luminance

A typical 60-watt standard frosted incandescent bulb outputs 890 lumens for an efficacy ratio of about 15 lumens per watt. As an A19, its shape is spherical. What is the its calculated luminance? A. 25,115 cd/in² B. 25.115 cd/ft² C. 25,115 cd/m² D. Indeterminate, missing variable. Answer If 1 candela (cd) = 4 ∏ lumens (lm), 890 x 1cd/4∏ = 71 cd, A19 = 19/8 = 2.375 in or 60mm diameter (= 30mm radius), L = intensity / projected area, 71 cd / ∏ r² = 71/ 3.14 x (.03m)² = 25,115 cd/m² ARE 4.0 exam prep: BS
