RIBA Validation

Nov 28, 2011 |NBS

At present, there are 47 schools of architecture - across the UK - running courses that have been validated by the RIBA. This programme will take a look at the Validation procedures for Part 1 and Part 2. From September 2011 a new set of validation criteria applies to Schools of Architecture courses. As before, these will be held in common with the Architects Registration Board (ARB). And so this programme will get to grips with the key changes, to keep universities (and prospective employers) aware of the changes

Key Learning:

  • Lists the schools nationally and internationally that are currently validated
  • Explains who carries out the Validation and Inspections; and the Validation criteria
  • Explains the general themes and topic areas to be addressed by the course; with a short breakdown of Part 1 and 2 criteria. This needs to be understood by the students and the various schools of architecture
  • Explains the concept of student “attributes” – which refers to the educational, professional and design skills to be demonstrated by the student
  • Explains the ‘General Criteria’ to be fulfilled by students
  • Specific focus on how courses can comply

Designing sustainability into construction – proof over promises in sustainable construction

With tightening regulations and growing client demand, the construction industry is under increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable progress against carbon reduction targets. For specifiers, that means ensuring every product installed stands up to scrutiny, not just in material, but in source, traceability, and lifetime carbon footprint. JELD-WEN, a specialist timber door, door kit and doorset manufacturer, explains the critical considerations when selecting sustainable materials.

Dulux Trade launches new solution for high-humidity spaces

Because of how they are used, kitchens and bathrooms experience more moisture, more contact, and more ongoing maintenance. Standard emulsions are not designed for this level of use. Over time, finishes can lose their appearance or fail to cope with the environment. Kitchens and bathrooms benefit best using a product formulated specifically for their daily demands.

The hidden cost of compliance: why architects are demanding a new era of product transparency

Few pieces of legislation have reshaped the UK construction industry as significantly as the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA). Introduced to improve accountability, traceability and safety standards across the built environment, the legislation has fundamentally changed the responsibilities placed on architects, contractors and manufacturers. While the principles behind the Act are widely supported, the reality for architectural practices is proving more challenging than many anticipated.
