Architecture Firm Plans to Grant Up to Ten Architectural Franchises each worth $35,000
Columbia, Maryland (March 2, 2011) - Transforming Architecture (TA), the first and only franchise opportunity for registered architects in the country, is awarding up to ten franchises in its new grant program. The value of each franchise is $35,000.
“We’re proud to offer this new program to talented and entrepreneurial architects in various regions in the U.S.,” says Karen Pitsley, owner of TA. “It’s a franchise opportunity that allows architects a chance to redesign their businesses.”
The objective of TA is to make an architect’s private practice more viable by providing branding and collective marketing, shared resources, group discounts, education, business support and project leads. By leveraging other professions, we add to our pipeline of projects while helping real estate agents sell more homes and giving builders and contractors a way to obtain more bidding opportunities.
TA has developed franchises in Texas, Ohio and Maryland, and is planning for further growth. The company is searching for leaders in the field of architecture, who have acknowledged the need to improve the profession in the U.S. Applicable candidates will have established firms that are ready to grow, or are architects interested in starting their own firms. TA has experience in providing the knowledge, systems, and support that is essential to help architectural practices thrive in any area.
The owner of Transforming Architecture is Karen Pitsley, a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), as well as a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). She is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Architecture and has worked in the profession for 15 years. Her firm designs for a flat fee… no added costs during the design process… no surprises at the end of the project.
For an application and official rules on Transforming Architecture’s Franchise Grant Program, contact Karen Pitsley, AIA, at 1-877-828-7267 or visit www.TransformingArchitecture.com.

Completed nominations and applications are due Friday, April 8, 2011, 5:00 pm EDT
The AIA Center for Emerging Professionals has opened the nominations for the 2011 AIA/NAC Jason Pettigrew Memorial ARE Scholarship. The NAC established this scholarship in honor of late friend and colleague Jason Pettigrew, who was committed to professional development and community service. The scholarship recognizes the significant contributions of interns at early stages in their careers and encourages them to complete the licensure process by defraying costs associated with the Architect Registration Examination (ARE).
To be eligible, a nominee must be an Associate AIA member, an NCARB Record holder, or a person who has passed one or more divisions of the ARE but has not passed all divisions.
For full eligibility rules, award criteria, and application procedures, visit the scholarship Web page. A committee of distinguished professionals will select the recipients, who will be honored at the Emerging Professionals Reception at the AIA National Convention in New Orleans.
