Each month, a guest CPBD shares the approach they used to prepare for the Certified Professional Building Designer(R) exam. Interviewed by a member of the AIBD "A-Team," guests are also asked why they pursued the building design certification, asked to describe their experiences registering for and taking the CPBD exam,  asked for suggestions to others seeking accreditation, and more.

This month's guests are Brendan Smythe, CPBD, in Eagle, Idaho. Brendan earned his CPBD designation just over a year ago.

In addition to having guest CPBDs, each month the program focuses on one aspect of the CPBD Candidate Handbook, this month Steve will talk in-depth about the exam registration process. Time for audience members to ask questions is a part of the agenda. The final edited version of each monthly podcast will be made available on a dedicated website - AIBD.org/podcasts.

Unfortunately, this is not the kind of program that qualifies for continuing education credits.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
