Famous Architects

and their Works

 Hi, I’m Ar. Espinosa. You can call me Nikki. 
I would like to share this HOA and TOA reviewer
that helped me during my January 2016 ALE. I’m still
working while reviewing last year, so I always
browse this pdf during lunch breaks and trips to and
fro work and JPT (my chosen review center.  )
Hope this helps.
