Becoming a registered architect in UK

Architecture is described as the morphology of art and science; the harmony between the technical and the creative.

But what qualification does one require?

*Note; the educational system is being reviewed however, this is true in 2016.

The courses have to be accredited by the Architects Registration Board. www.arb.org.uk

Royal Institute of British Architects validation reflects a high quality programme. www.architecture.com

The Traditional Education route to

Legal Registration as an architect:

- Bachelors (undergraduate)_Part 1 ARB accredited/RIBA validation (3 years)

- Year out work experience (recommended, not obligatory)

- Masters (postgraduate)_Part 2 ARB accredited/RIBA validation (2 years)

- At least 24 Months of relevant work experience. Also a minimum of 12 Months within the last 24 Months before pursuing Part 3

- Postgraduate Diploma_Part 3 ARB accredited/RIBA validation (1 year)

However, you are not restricted to this route!

For example; if you have already acquired relevant/transferable qualifications (technical/drafting etc), you may skip a year or so. Or, you may have been working in an architectural practice and therefore can take a process of examination and submit a portfolio which may gain you the Part 1. Similar applies if you have qualifications gained outside of

and are not recognised. There is also option of part-time or office based study.

So remember; ARB accreditation and the route to qualification is flexible.

What is “Architecture”?

What is “Architecture”? Think of Ernő Rubik and his invention of the “Rubik’s Cube” (a ‘spherical device with hollow core and an arrangement of interlocking projections on the back of the cubes, too cunning to describe with words. A single central cube on each face fixed to a three-axis cross locked everything together, but, like wheels on an axle, the cubes were free to rotate in a single plane.’) which he developed as an exercise in the manipulation of space and volumes, which might, he hoped, engage the minds of his architecture students. Or, think of it as a musical instrument such as a “violin”, for example; a multi purpose/functional object/device. By this I mean; a sculptural object with aesthetic qualities + functional as it inspires interaction which stimulates the dexterity of your brain and the surrounding environment with vibration (sound).
