January's issue of RIBA CPD Showcase

January's issue of RIBA CPD Showcase

Jan 27, 2021 |NBS |1 Minute Read

We're kicking off 2021 with a line-up of new and exciting RIBA-approved CPD materials, which includes the ever popular live online seminars.

As the UK has entered the New Year under another national lockdown, remote learning will continue to be vital in order for RIBA members to meet their annual CPD requirements. With in-person events looking unlikely to resume for at least a few more months, providers are continuing to make their wide range of CPD seminars and materials available online.  

In this issue of RIBA CPD Showcase we focus on buildings and how they shape the world around us – both literally and figuratively. That is a truism self-evident to every architect once caught sketching house designs in the back of an exercise book. In the UK we have a wide range of structures from those that are many hundreds of years old, and others at the very cutting edge of conceptual design. This issue celebrates that diversity – covering two Core Curriculum topics ‘Design, construction, technology’ and ‘Sustainable architecture’, and ‘Stone selection and maintenance’ – many of which are available as live online seminars.

Sustainability and the adoption of new technology will be important industry talking points throughout the year, and these CPD materials will help you to keep your knowledge up-to-date. 
Some of the latest CPD content now available on ribacpd.com includes: 

RIBA CPD Showcase only highlights a small sample of the available content on ribacpd.com. Explore the rest of the website to find the most relevant CPD material for you and your development goals. Remember, RIBA CPD is worth double the amount of CPD points to RIBA members.
