To those who do not know me, my name is Nicholas Renard; I am the co-owner and principle architect at Cote Renard Architecture. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2002 and moved to Jacksonville three years ago. If you feel the deep desire to know more about me feel free to drop by my website: www.coterenard.com.
As of June 1st, I have taken over the role of EDP (Emerging Design Professional) President from Jeremiah Russell.
The driving force of this email is to see who is still out there!
I understand that times have been difficult over the last couple years and there has been a lot of turnover at firms and some firms don’t exist at all anymore. Some of the emails on the EDP directory may be ghosts, others may be still active. I need to find out who is and still wants to be active. So please send me a quick email back, nrenard@coterenard.com, if this message finds its way to your inbox and if you are interested in being part of the EDPs. If I do not hear from you, you will not be included on future emails.
I want to bring the EDPs back. I know times are still difficult, but it is important to remain active. Jeremiah tried different activities to help get involvement up, some things worked, others did not. If you have any suggestions or aspects of EDP that you would like to see, please feel free to include your thoughts and ideas in your response email.
I am working to get better involvement from the board and other members of the AIA. The architecture community is important and I feel we can make steps to gain what was lost over the last few years. I am game planning for the rest of the summer and hope to start activities back up in the fall.
Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you.
Emerging Design Professionals Jacksonville is a group of local architects, designers and intern architects in their first ten years of practice. Through community involvement, we strive to bring a fresh design perspective through architecture.

EDP-Jax is proud to announce it's yearly design competition, the Sustainable |shed|. This year's competition is open to all EDP members, AAIA members, interns and Architects in their first ten years of practice within the state of Florida.In today's economy, many are finding it necessary to work from home or start a home based business but may lack the space and/or privacy necessary to have a home office.

The |shed| is to be designed as a completely sustainable office shed on a typical residential lot, we're seeking to show people what is possible with today's technology in the area of Sustainable and Modern design. We aim to show that High Design and Sustainable design can be affordable and fit within any existing urban fabric to provide reasonable and beautiful solutions for today's burgeoning entrepreneurs.
