Kerstin Thompson Architects’ Post

The ARCPE exam is the final step towards registration as an Architectural Professional!

Disheartened to hear this morning of the lack of communication the ATR have received from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage in relation to the implementation of the Statutory Register for Architectural Technologists. There has been an enormous amount of work done in establishing and maintaining the Shadow register. Architectural Technologists are vital part of the construction industry, and this should be reflected in Government. #ATR #CIAT #ArchitecturalTechnology #ArchitecturalTechnologist #MCIAT

When it comes to mass timber, seeing truly is believing—its impact is best understood when experienced first-hand. To make that experience possible, the SLB is sponsoring “Managing Mass Timber: From Forest to Future,” a traveling exhibit and lecture series that showcases the benefits of mass timber directly to students and faculty at leading engineering, architecture, and construction management schools across the Northeast and Great Lakes regions. The exhibit kicked off at Kent State University and has traveled to Syracuse University, with additional stops at the Associated Schools of Construction Region 3 conference in Chicago, Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh for the AIAS Northeast Quad Conference, and the National Organization for Minority Architects’ (NOMA) Annual Conference in Baltimore.

The international conference #FutureBuilders 2024 is behind us! This year was the anniversary, fifth edition of the event, which gathered hundreds of professionals from the construction industry. This year's conference was unique not only due to the theme, but also due to the participation of outstanding architects from around the world. 🧑💻 Participants included Jose Pareja Gomez from Zaha Hadid Architects and Ian Bogle from Bogle Architects, who shared their visions of technological innovation and the revitalization of urban spaces. During three panels, the challenges of contemporary architecture were discussed, such as ecological construction, sustainable development and the role of technology in shaping the future of cities. ✅ During the event, Prof. Ewa Kuryłowicz and numerous experts were also present, who took part in the discussion on the pro-social aspects of architecture and the impact of modern technologies on design processes. I encourage those who were unable to attend to watch the online broadcast – full of inspiration and valuable information that will have a major impact on the development of the construction industry in the coming years! #FutureBuilders #conference #ObiektRoku #Aluprof

NCARB introduced a new framework for architectural licensure in the U.S. today, the 'NCARB Competency Standard for Architects.' It outlines 16 key competencies required at licensure. NCARB President Kenneth R. Van Tine noted the new standard will "shape the architecture profession for years to come and ensure that the path to licensure is accessible to individuals of all backgrounds." Take a deep dive into the topic of architectural licensure with our recent Archinect In-Depth: Licensure series (link in the article).

a Certain municipality in the Western Cape has in their staff , building plan examiners and building inspectors with SACAP Numbers. These induviduals have been drawing plans for rate payers that want to build in the numerous Westcoast developments like StHelena bay, Paternoster, Jacobsbaai, Langebaan and various others in the Saldanha and BergRivier Municipal areas. Some of said personel have been suspended by the municipalities for various reasons. My Question is, does SACAPSA sit back and do nothing regarding these induviduals' conduct.? Surely there should be some form of investigation as to the Professional Conduct of these induviduals.
