Architects Registration Board’s Post

 Book on Identifying, Analyzing  and Planning Sites for Architectural Projects, is an attempt to document options and factors to be considered for selecting suitable sites for any project; defining principles which can be used for preparing site plans on the site selected ; and approach to be used for planning and designing of cost-effective, sustainable, energy efficient and qualitative buildings. Book is based on my limited knowledge and understanding of architecture and offers enormous opportunities for addition, subtraction,deletion, reviewing,revising and redefining the contents and intent to make it more qualitative, comprehensive,useful, relevant, rational and productive. Book is dedicated to all the students, faculty, researchers, professionals  engaged in the art of teaching-learning of Architecture and in the hard core professional practice. 

☕📰 I sipped my morning coffee and read this article. Couldn’t agree more! Aspiring architects often enter the profession fueled by a desire to create, and transform their ideas from mere concepts into tangible structures. The journey from head to paper, to computer, and finally to the construction site is the ultimate goal for architects. However, the reality for many young architects diverges significantly from this initial dream. University equips architects with theory, design principles, and sustainability knowledge. But there’s a gap between what students learn in lecture halls and the practical realities of the profession. At Rowett Architecture we prioritise Site Experience for our team. Why? Because standing on a construction site, gazing at your creation, transforms drawings into reality. This early experience shapes your understanding of the sequence of construction and fosters a deeper connection to your work. We believe that this firsthand exposure during construction is invaluable for career growth. Many fresh architects leave university armed with theory but lacking practical skills. As employers, we seek those who bridge the gap—architects who grasp both design and construction intricacies Students need opportunities to witness construction firsthand, to appreciate the complexities, and to learn beyond the classroom. Experienced architects can play a pivotal role by mentoring young professionals. Sharing insights, guiding them through site visits, and imparting practical knowledge are essential steps. By doing so, we empower the next generation of architects to build confidently and responsibly. #Architecture #Construction #Architects #SiteExperience #FutureProfession

Check out my latest YouTube video! In this Q&A, I answer many of the questions I received on LinkedIn about my previous video on how to complete the CACB form. I hope this video helps all those looking to get certified as a Foreign Architecture Graduate here in Canada. xx

Having sat on both sides of the table, architecture and main contractor, I have always been a big advocate of the benefits of architects spending more time on site. Too many architects or architectural practices don't see the point in site visits. But it should work both ways. Designers need to spend more time on site to understand the pressures of programme, cost, lack of design consideration etc. But at the same time, Construction/Project/Site/Commercial/Design Managers need to spend time in a design office to understand what it takes to actually produce the drawings. It really isn't just the click of a mouse button and what seems like the smallest change can cause the biggest problems! This sharing of experiences will only benefit our industry by driving better collaboration through the understanding of the project requirements from different perspectives!

Important talk about architecture liscensing and widening the pathways to practice: "We’ve diversified the pool of architects that help us write the exam questions. We have committees to look at other impediments such as time limits and other administrative policies that might keep people out of the system. But we’re still looking at higher education as the typical entry point into the profession." National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB)

Master of Architectural Engineering from UC taught us the skills and knowledge necessary for critically evaluating and validating architectural concepts through proven engineering methods and sustainable design principles. This study emphasises the importance of collaboration between engineers and architects in achieving the best possible results.

Fully agree! Until one has set foot on a construction site the theory will remain just that. With #Accessibility being a MUST in the built environment, the basic build should be second nature in order to effectively deliver an #AccessibleHome which is really on another level completely. Architects, there is no replacement education for ‘getting the hands dirty’ then going back into the office and design from that perspective. #SiteTime #Education #Accessibility #HomeBuilds #EffectiveArchitecture
