Coming



in



October


A new look will be taken on by the
October issue of "The Florida Archi-
tect", the monthly publication of The
Florida Association of the American
Institute of Architects. This issue will
now be referred to as THE FLOR-
IDA ARCHITECT HANDBOOK
AND DIRECTORY OF ARCHI-
TECTURAL BUILDING PROD-
UCTS & SERVICES.


20 / THE FLORIDA ARCHITECT / May


The Association has become increas-
ingly aware of a growing need within
the architectural profession of an
Annual Directory which would list
the following information:
a. Building products manufacturers
b. Manufacturers' local representa-
 tives
 c. Florida distributors
 d. Firms offering special services to
 the architect and the construction
 industry
 e. Contractors and sub-contractors.
 This need has been evidenced by the
 many phone calls received by the
 FAAIA headquarters from architects
 and others requesting the location
 and telephone numbers of manufac-
 turers' Florida representatives, regional
 office, or distributors.
 In most cases, the architect has lo-
 cated the product in Sweet's Cata-
 logue but, because of the urgency for
 immediate information, does not wish
 to contact the main office. With the
 Directory in his office, the informa-
 tion will be at his fingertips.
 The second section of the October
 issue will contain material relevant to
 the architect's practice. Briefly, some
 of the material will include:
 a. 1969 Convention Program
 b. List of Building Product Exhibi-
 tors
 c. National Council of Architectural
 Registration Boards
 d. Public Relations for the Architect
 e. Insurance
 f. State Agencies and their Jurisdic-
 tion
 g. Legislative-list of legislators and
 how to communicate
 h. Membership Roster
 i. 1969 Architectural Awards
 j. FAAIA Organization
 k. Speakers Bureau
 1. Profit Planning for the Architect
 m.AIA Standards of Professional
 Practice
 n. Film List about Architecture &
 Urban Design.
 The October Handbook will be dis-
 tributed through normal circulation
 channels to over 4,000 readers of
 which more than 2,800 are architects.
 In addition, professional consulting
 engineers, contractors and builders, ar-
 chitectural students, Florida libraries
 and state and local public officials
 will receive a copy.
 Since this is a reference book, the
 October Handbook will be continu-
 ously used by the architect for the
 next twelve months.
