Speakers

Jason Altman, RA, NCARB

Licensed Architect with Shape Collective A/E, LLC, in Grand Rapids, MI

Mr. Altman is a licensed architect with extensive experience navigating the complex world of the International Building Code (IBC). Specializing in the multifamily and commercial sectors, he has earned a reputation for translating intricate regulatory requirements into practical design solutions that are effective in real-world applications. He previously worked on the internal code-training team at a mid-sized architecture firm, where he helped keep the design team informed and developed tailored curricula to simplify dense code language and apply it to daily practice. These training sessions addressed major architectural challenges, such as understanding height and area calculations, managing mixed-use separations, and ensuring life-safety through egress strategies. Although much of his work focuses on high-density residential environments, Mr. Altman’s approach to codes is universally applicable. He believes that grasping the reasons behind code provisions is crucial for architects to manage risks and safeguard their firms. As an NCARB-certified architect, he remains current with code updates and state-specific amendments. Mr. Altman looks forward to extending his practical, hands-on training style to a broader audience, helping practitioners master the 2024 IBC with emphasis on professional judgment, fairness in design, and technical precision.
