Want to brighten up your ARE test prep? In this episode of ARE Live, a top podcast for aspiring architects, we review a Programming & Analysis Mock Exam with a focus on sun, wind, and light in honor of the summer solstice. We’re joined by special guest Omar Al-Hassawi to cover sun path diagrams, microclimate, how to design with the sun in mind for daylighting and passive heating, and more. With detailed explanations for five practice questions, this episode will help prepare you for any weather-related questions you may see on your PA exam. To get the full visual experience for each question, you can watch the video on our website - just go to go.blackspectacles.com, then click "Resources", "ARE Live Podcast" to view!
