Survey
10. Chapter 4 of the discussion paper sets out the evidence we have analysed to date, and the conclusions we’ve reached. Is there anything you believe is missing from these conclusions, that we should also take into account as we start developing the outcomes-based approach?
Write your answer in the box
There is a potentail logic to separating the academic aspects of "design" from the technical aspects of being an architect completely, and removing the concept of course-based exemptions.
11. Chapter 5 of the discussion paper sets out the vision for our new regulatory approach. To what extent do you agree with our vision? Please feel free to explain your view, and make any suggestions as to what is missing.

Please write your explanations and/ or suggestions in the box
The "how" of the continuous assessment of capabilities is of fundamental importance and as a design manager in construction if see an almost continuous downward trajectory in the skills, knowledge and quite frankly the curiousity of many of the architects I work with. The attitude on larger projects that "contractors design" is a magic wand that can be waved over almost anything is of particular concern.
12. To enable institutions to innovate and to promote diversity, we think that the structure needs to change from the current approach of Parts 1, 2 and 3. What are your views on this?

13. We believe that the best way to describe the competencies architects need may be to describe what an architect must KNOW, what they must be able to DO, and how they must BEHAVE. To what extent do you agree?

There is quite a lot of remedial learning to be done on some very basic skills like specification writing, which is something almost never taught, but picked up "on the job", and it shows.

I'd be very interested to read the core competencies, and I'd like some reassurance that architects in leadership roles at the RIBA and ARB will be amongst the first to demonstrate their compliances.
