Spectacular builds on the mission of Black Spectacles, to provide support and inspiration to architects through world-class educational material and career resources. Founder Marc Teer started Black Spectacles in 2010 to make Software Learning more accessible to architects, adding now NCARB-approved ARE Test Prep to the course offerings. As an architect himself, Teer’s motivation has always been to remove barriers and pave the way for career expansion– so every architect can experience professional growth.
