Contact us At a special Education Forum meeting today (24 March), and in response to the 2013 European Union legislative changes to the Professional Qualifications Directive statute, the RIBA Council has agreed a set of proposals that will modernise the education of future generations of architecture students, widen the path towards inclusivity and work to remove the obstacles faced by aspiring architects. The recommendations are the result of the RIBA Education Review, a two year programme developing the agenda for changes in the structure, content and delivery of UK architecture education. The review has engaged the RIBA Education Committee, SCHOSA and the UK schools of architecture, progressive practitioners of architecture, and the statutory bodies responsible for architecture in the UK and Europe. The recommendations agreed today are: A requirement for a minimum of two years of assessed professional practical experience (PPE) within, typically, a minimum seven year period of study An award that combines academic study and PPE leading to a level 7 masters degree Academic credits available for one year of work based learning, with the option for students to study within a framework of four years F/T study + three years PPE A 300 ECTS credit programme compliant with the requirements of Bologna agreement Access to the register of architects and title of the architect on successful completion of the integrated course The next steps will be to discuss the implementation of proposals in consultation with all UK schools of architecture. Stephen Hodder, President of the RIBA, said: “This has been the most rigorous and collaborative review of architectural education in fifty years via an extensive consultation with architects, students, academics and clients. I’m delighted that we have some clear recommendations for changes to architectural education ensuring that the RIBA validated architecture course represents an assured academic benchmark. These changes will ensure that future generations are inspired to become leading architects in the UK and globally.” Posted on Wednesday 25th March 2015 Search architecture.com just start typing and hit enter again × Browser does not support script.

CI-One Construction, a joint venture between Interserve and China State Construction Engineering Corporation, will not be building the £550m One Nine Elms scheme in south London after all. Above: The planned towers of One Nine Elms CI-One Construction was selected for the contract a year ago but client and contractor have since been resolutely unable to finalise terms. Interserve said that CI-One Construction and Wanda One, the UK subsidiary of Chinese developer Dalian Wanda, “have mutually agreed to end negotiations for the main contractor appointment at One Nine Elms”. The One Nine Elms project includes the construction of two towers of 57 and 42 storeys, together housing 494 apartments, which will be among the tallest residential towers in the UK, and a hotel. [See previous report here] A CI-One spokesperson said: “CI-One Construction and Wanda One (UK) Ltd have continued to work in a positive manner to conclude outstanding matters to reach contract award on this scheme. Unfortunately we have failed to reach agreement and the client has chosen to pursue a re-tender. CI-One has confirmed that we will not participate in the re-tender process. We wish Wanda One well with the project and will continue to support them whilst outstanding matters are concluded.” This article was published on 12 Apr 2016 (last updated on 12 Apr 2016).
