PRACTICE POINTS

In 2006 APT introduced Practice Points in the APT Bulletin. Each installment of these instructional columns will illustrate an existing or cutting-edge technology or technique in practice, share original research in the history of building technology and materials, or present recent case studies in which new technologies and techniques have been used successfully. Each column will emphasize best practices in the field. Practice Points is designed to provide the most up-to-date, nuts-and-bolts information for practitioners and their clients.

APT invites members, as well as non-members, to submit manuscripts for Practice Points columns to the editor of the APT Bulletin. Like other articles in the Bulletin, Practice Points will undergo peer review. Possible topics for Practice Points articles range from reports on concrete finishes to studies on spray-on siding to tutorials on the reproduction of historic glass.

Practice Points submissions should be 1,000 to 2,500 words in length and should be accompanied by 3 to 8 illustrations. Please consult the APT Bulletin author guidelines for more information on acceptable formats for illustrations and editorial style.
