Forder M.A. 160/86 C O U N C I L 218 Ordinary Meet ing — 15th October 1986 M I N U T E S Minutes The minutes of the 217th Ordinary meeting were confirmed and adopted, subject to small amendments — ( i ) by the substitution of the word "been" for the word "being" in the first line of minute 17 ( i) by the renumbering of paragraph 24 as paragraph 20. A presentation was made to Mr Robert Paine, to mark his long and distinguished service to ARCUK. Matters Arising from the Minutes Mr Bingham referred to minute 19 ( i i) and asked what representation ARCUK had made of the "National Council For Vocational Qualif ications The Chairtaan said that representation had been made to place ARCUK's objections on record, but since it was the intention at present to progress up to the fourth level only there did not seem to be any risk of ARCUK being affected yet. ( i i) Under minute 1 5 ( i i) ( b ) Mr L Forsyth asked about the progress of matters on Continuin bt Professional Development and the Chairman said this would be included in the report of the Finance and General Purposes C01,11i11 ttee . 23. Constitution of Board of Architectural Education The Chairman said that following the decis ion of the Council at its last meeting a formal application was duly submitted to the Privy Council for approval for a change in ARCUK's Regulations. ARCUK has now been told that the Privy Council had promulgated the following arnendment to ARCUK Regulations which had been drawn up by the Privy Council, and were now in force:— prescribed manner' for the purpose of paragraph 2 Schedule 2 to the Act rneans a notice in writing signed by the Chairman,' the Vice Chairman or the Clerk of the Board of Architectural Education, addressed to the Council, and containing particulars of a person nominated for membership of the Board in accordance with the provisions of the said paragraph, and of the School of Architecture the governing body of which has gecommended that person for such membership. prescribed number' for the purpose of paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the Act shall be twenty—f As a consequence the Chairman said that an approach was made to 17 Schools of Architecture, previously unrepresented on the BAE and all except two had forwarded nominat ions. The following was the 1 ist and Council was asked to approve the nominations : — University of Bath Prof Michael Brawne Queens University of Belfast John Hendry Canterbury College of Art David Coupe University of Dundee Dr Angus Roberts University of Edinburgh Prof Isi Metzstein Humberside College of Higher Education Richard Graham Kingston Polytechnic Dennis Berry Liverpool Polytechnic Ken Martin Manchester Polytechnic Raymond Burton North East London Polytechnic Christine Hawley Oxford Polytechnic Christopher Cross Plymouth Polytechnic Prof Adrian Gale Portsmouth Polytechnic Graham Brown Polytechnic of the Southbank Hans Haenlein Thames Polytechnic John Bennetts This list was approved by Council nem con. John Allan then asked about the position of the seven Schools listed under the first paragraph of the Second Schedule to the 1931 Act which were required to elect four representatives on an annual basis. The new arrangement still meant that each year three Schools would be unrepresented. The Chairman agreed that this was the position but said that the anomaly arose from the wording of the Act. Ile said that thought would be given to this litat ter but the ult Ll.late answer would have to be left until such t itne as the Act was alilended and this was not contetaplated at present. 24. Section 7 of the Principal Act Architect Convicted of a Criminal Offence (Members of the press were asked to leave). Malcolm Nickolls said that the name of Evan Wilfred Ebery removed from the Register with effect from the 16 October 1974 and he was disqualified from registration for 10 years following his conviction at Birmingham Crown Court on charges of conspiracy to commit corruption. The end of the 10 year period was the 16 October 1984 and Mr Ebery had now applied for his name to be restored to the Register in terms of the proviso to Section 7 (l ) of the 1931 Act. As Chairman of the Professional .Purposes Committee he advised Council that there was no reason why Mr Ebery's name should not be restored to the Register. He accordingly proposed, seconded by Kenneth Taylor, that the name of Evan Wilfred Eb&y be restored to the Register under his original registration number wiü effect from 15 October 1986. The motion was adopted nem con. (The press was then readmitted and informed of the decision). 25. Reports ( i ) Admiss ion Committee (Annex A — copy inserted in minute book) The report had been tabled and was introduced by Kenneth Taylor. The Council approved the recommendation that the 109 persons listed in paragraph ( i) (a) (b) (c) (d) of document_ 149/86 be admitted to the Register. The Council adopted the recotmnendation that L S Houston, K W Abbam and C G Delancy be not admitte& to the Register because they had not satisfied the Council that they were qualified for registration. (i i) Board of Architectural Education (Awards Panel) (Annex B — copy inserted in minute book) David Gregory presented the report and the Council agreed unanimously to accept the recommendation that the twelve students listed should receive the corresponding avards. The Council noted the first award to be made under the William Kretchtner Bequest of the surn of [1500 to Vaughan Hart, a postgraduate student at Cambridge University. Michael Jeff els asked the Chairman that in future, reports of the names of renewals in the list of applications could be marked with an asterisk. This was agreed. The report as whole was adopted. ( ill) Finance and General Puruposes C0iar,11Ctee (Annex C copy inserted in minute book) Francis Goodall introduced the report. The report was noted with the additional acceptance of the following reconunendation for reinstatement received since the Committee had met — John Allan and Nick Broad had questions about the price of the Register and the number of libraries who receive it. Michael Jenks and John Allan put questions about the Electoral Reform Society Project to carry out a random sample by means of a questionnaire to check on constituent body members based on the number on the Register at 31 October 1986. Michael Jenks asked for a copy of the questionnaire himself to be sent out with the minutes and the Chairman said that this would be done, Mr Forsyth asked about ARCUK CPD Policy and the Chairman said that the CPD in Construction Group had now been informed that in view of the duplication of payments by architects the contribution of ARCUK would be reduced from E 2900 per annum to E 500 per annum with effect from the 1 January 1987 and that accordingly ARCUK was prepared to accept a status as an associate member of the Group instead of a founder member. Michael Metcalfe asked members to recall that very large sums of money had been contributed by ARCUK in the name of Continuing Professional Development in years gone by and it might well be said that ARCUK has done its bit and that now was the time to leave it to others. The GPC of the Board of Architectural Education would review its interest in CPD. This met with general agreement. The report was then approved and adopted. ( i v) Professional Purposes Committee (Annex D — copy inserted in minute book) Malcolm Nickolls presented the report with two minor amendments and the report was adopted. (v ) Registrar's Report (Annex E — copy inserted in minute book) The Registrar presented the report which vas adopted. 26. Architects Directive of the Council of the European Couununity (Previous reference minute 17 of document 104/86) The Chairman reported that the list of accredited United Kingdom qualifications considered at the June meeting were duly passed to the European Community Commission on behalf of the United Kingdom Government in terns of Article 17 of the Directive. A corresponding list had been received from the Irish Government and the lists from ten other Member States were awaited. The General Purposes Committee of the BAE will be discussing the processing of these lists at its coming meeting. In the meant ime the new draft of the Order in Council (version number Ill) had been received and circulated to Council. Ian Urquhart, member of Council and representative of the DOE, was présent with Mike Ankers of DOE as a guest and the time was opportune for conunents to be made on the latest draft. Ian Urquhart said the draft had been sent to all interested parties and after comments had been received by the end of October, the document would be put to Privy Council and then formally to Parliament. The final version would come into effect in mid 1987. David Waterhouse asked members to note that this was the last occasion on which comments could be received. The following points were noted and Ian Urquhart undertook to receive them on behalf of DOE. Page 5 of the Order in Council third line for the word "a I ' substitute the word "another" Page 5 sub—paragraph (b) the reference should be to only three of the Fachhochschule, not all of them. Page 8 paragraph 5 (2) (a) second line for the word "rendered" substitute the word "provided" and on the next line for the word "render" substitute the word "provide" and similar substitution of these words elsewhere. Page 8 sub—paragraph 7 third line the phrase "on request" should be qualified by indicating at whose request. Page 10 in sub—paragraph 7 (b) for the word "renders" substitute the word "provides Two further points of interpretation were clarified by Ian Urquhart. David Waterhouse then referred particularly to the disciplinary procedures outlined on page 7 and 8 saying that he wished to place on record his disagreement with the proposal to give the Council discretion on whether or not to take into account disqual if Ying decisions in other countries relating Co app I i cat 1 ons for achai s s 1 on. lie subtait ted that were two ma 1 n reasons why this should not be ( i) It could be regarded as discriminatory that an applicant from another Member State may have to answer for previous misdeeds before he could be registered, whereas ordinary applicants under Section 6 ( i ) (c) of the Act would not face such a peril; It would seem that any person who wished to apply for registration in these circumstances could take an easier option by applying for registration as a foreign applicant under ARCUK Regulation 27. A member pointed out that even under Regulation 27 the Council had the right to decide whether an applicant was "fit and proper" but David Waterhouse submitted that the criteria were different. He closed by wishing it to be placed on record that he did not agree with the proposition that ARCUK should be able to look at the anticedents of any cand idate. The Chairman said that the majority of Council wished to retain discretion in disciplinary matters. It was not yet known how the other member states intended to deal with disciplinary matters and it was reasonable that ARCUK Council should retain powers by discretion to harmonise with whatever might emerge on a common policy throughout all Member States. If the Council had no discretion, then the UK might be the odd man out and have no power to operate a common policy. Kenneth Bingham closed the discussion by remarking that the disciplinary provisions of Article 4 of the Order in Council clearly meant that ARCUK would have to establish relations with registration bodies of other States. Previously questions had been raised by Nadine Beddington, R Shrimp 1 in, Ian Gordon, Alan Lipman and John Allan. 27. Joint Committee for Architectural Education The Chairman reported on the recent visit in October 1986 by an ARCUK delegation to San Francisco for a meeting of the JCAR which was actually a year overdue (on the basis that it was scheduled to meet on a biennial basis). The next meeting was proposed in mid 1987 in the UK. No immediate changes had been envisaged to the terms of the Inter—recognit ion Agreement between ARCUK and NCARB but in the light of the implications arising from ARCUK's coming administration of the European Directive, a draft alteration to the Inter—recognition Agreement to filter European applicants who might make use of the agreement to register in the United States was considered. Both sides were agreed that the information exchanged during the two day meeting was extremely valuable and the areas covered included the administration of the NCARB examination, American observations on visits to Schools in the United Kingdom, a discussion on the internship system, ARCUK's policy of recognition of overseas Schools and the degree of acceptance of NCARB accreditation for registration purposes In the various Member States. It was noted that NCARB had terminated its inter—recognition agreement with Australia on I September 1986 . John Smith said he regretted that the numbers making use of the Inter—recognition Agreement to become registered in either country was not greater and Professor Bob Macleod said that some years previously he had come away with the impression that the State registration system in the United States had undue bureaucracy. Michael Metcalfe said he thought that the delegation had done an extremely creditable job. The Chairman agreed to keep the Council informed on developments. 28.

Founder Member, The New Architecture Moyement. For too long unattached Architects have been regarded as an inconsequential minority whose interest could be ignored. But now numbering nearly a quarter of the entire profession — and growing fast— their significance can be discounted no longer. This years overdue abolition of ARCUKs surrogate RIBA code provides new freedoms to unattached Architects which institutions still encombered with unworkable codes are attempting to deny. The dropping of cartel arrangements should stimulate new endeavours to practise in the public interest— an initiative in which unattached Architects may now take the leading role. I will continue to counter the RIBA attacEn unattached Architects both within Council and in the wider professional arena. NORMAN FRANK ARNOLD 35 years. 1979. Unattached.

The past year has seen some fundamental changes of the criteria to be observed by architects in their conduct. Some of my colleagues representing the unattached have played a leading role in bringing these about. We should be wary however that one of the basic aims of the unattached Councillors, around which these changes were to have hinged, has of necessity been temporarily shelved by us for fear of the RIBA Councillors on ARCIJK voting it out of existence. This is the facility for the public recording of architects' business interests. Without this registration we must rely largely on the honesty and integrity of the vast majority on ARCIJK (i.e. architects belonging to the RIBA) for the thorough policing of "Conduct and Discipline". Is this democratic? I ask for re-election to promote "justice seen to be done" on ARCUK JAMES ROBERT ALISTAIR BLAMIRE 35 years. 1975.

I see this as a fundamental role for ARCUK as a public interest body. I am also concerned about the im provement of conditions for salaried architects, particulary those in the private sector.

The future existence of ARCUK has been questioned by some members of the RIBA education is under attack and ARCUK must regain the control previously delegated to the RIBA ARCIJK is not the rubber stamp of any one constituent member. As one of the New Architecture Movement candidates I intend, if re-elected, to continue to seek a democratically elected Council that will carry out all of its duties under the Registration Acts, to promote the interests of salaried architects and other public sector employees and for as long as there are inner city areas where few people have ever met an architect I will resist the closure or limitation of numbers within the schools.

New Architecture Movement. Past Chairman BDS-TASS London Branch. One of ARCUK's most important statutory duties is the recognition of examinations in architecture, the passing of which allows admission to the Register of Architects. The Board of Architectural Education is responsible for evaluating courses and making recommendations to Council. In recent years the BAE has sub-contracted this duty to RIBA Visiting Boards in defiance of the intentions of the Registration Acts. This practice has been encouraged by the pre-dominance of RIBA members on the Board, despite the majority lay membership provided for under the Act. If elected I intend to continue to press for the restoration of the statutory recognition procedure to the Board of Architectural Education and for the full involvement of the nominees of Educational Institutions and other lay bodies represented on the Board.

Member of Local District Council Architects Advisory Panel. My aim on Council has been to contribute to the task of maintaining ARCUK's independence as established by statute and representing the interests of the 'unattachecf by voting impartially on Council. I believe the Council and the BAE, and their Committees should be more open in their business and thus more acceptable not only to architects but to society in general. 49 years. 1961. (iii) RIAS.

ARCUK Council 1981-82, President of Student Architects Group Edinburgh (SAGE) 1959, Student representative on EAA Council 1959. Representing as I do many Architects, who, like myself, have left the mainstream of the profession, I am concerned by what I see from my resent vantage point. Too many Architects chasing too few projects, a never diminishing stream of brig teyed graduates destined for the dole, a general lack of excellence, competitiveness — or in some cases competence, I have to ask, how long can this go on? 100 year old housinq is currently being refurbished and should easily see the 21 st century, meanwhile, 20 year old housing much IS Deliggt, bein demolished, because it has neither the quality of Firmness nor Commodity — it never had and Architects were involved in most of it. Is Pompidou going to fall down before Eiffel? Are "slick shedS' Zeibarted? Why can't we compete with Tom Baron and Lawrie Barratt? If this sounds like the trailer for new week's 'Soap', I only wish it were!, because in a mere 7 days we would "know the answers to these and many other questions". ARCUK should be looking for answers, and concurrently encourage diversification into all related fields — not to escape, but to give strength to the Profession. ALAN LIPMAN 0) 56 years. 1963.

ARCU KS new document "Conduct and Discipline" meets the criteria set out in my statement for last year's election. Now the capability of the Discipline Committee will have to be examined. The public recording of business interest remains on the agenda awaiting decision. In the coming year, if elected, I shall endeavour to introduce democratic reforms within ARCUK in order that the Council may effectively discharge its duties and free itself from RIBA abuse. In particular it is necessary, as a first step, that the unattached (who now comprise nearly a quarter of the profession) are fully represented on all ARCIJK committees, visiting boards, and panels instead of the token representation that the present RIBÄ monopoly dictates.

NAM members work on ARCUK last year included: Pressing unsuccessfully for more unattached representatives on the Board of Architectural Education. The new 'Standard of Conduct for Architects' is a first step on the road to eradicating the exclusive bosses club domination of Architecture. But have we been duped? Our fight continues to establish the principles of fair play with no petty rules and no unnecessary restraints on practice. Building Control (England and Wales): Opposing the use of membership of institutions as qualification for Self-certification which would restrain the unattacheds' right to practise. The unattached election is the only democratic voice affecting ARCIJK — let it challenge all others.

Title A name given to the resource Unattached architects ask DOE for fair treatment Subject The topic of the resource Unattached architects ask DOE for fair treatment (3 pp) Description An account of the resource . 1 "Equal Opportunities for all the building industry professionals to be Approved (Building Control) Inspectors is crucial for the success of the Governments proposed new system of Building Control" . Elected Representatives of Unattached- Architects met with DOE Officials dealing with Building Control on Id April 1984 to discuss the Housing and Building Control Bill now going through the last stages in Parliament. The main features of the Unattached Architects case put to the DOE are: The new system of Designated Bodies Approving Inspectors must operate on the principle of free access by applicants to a range of Designated Bodies rather than one professional institute being the Designated Body for each profession. This principle is a natural extension of the Governments policies of market competition, eliminating monopolies and limiting ' 'closed-shops U rlhus in the general field of Building Control all Designated Bodies approved by the Secretary of State for the Environment from the disciplines of architecture, building, surveying, existing building control, should accept bona fide applications from people in all these other general disciplines. For example under the Unattached Architects proposals members of the Architectural Association will be able to apily to one of the following bodies (if they become Designated) to be considered for Approval as an Inspector: IBCO FAS CIOB RICS Therefore applicants will have a choice between Designated Bodies reputation, speed of processing, fees for applications and insurance costs. The Unattached Architects Elected Representative says 't such diversity of Designated Bodies could help the new system operate fairly for all suitably qualified people - there should be no closed shops with single institutes dominating their own discipline. Even members of institutes should have the choice between their own institute and other Designated bodies". .1 END�ADDITIONAL INFORI.IÄTION The Unattached Architects Representatives also pointed out to the DOE Officials the exact nature of Unattached Architects: rlhey are not "non—joiners" of professional bodies. It just so happens that they are not members of the 7 bodies listed in the Architects Registration Act 1931, First Schedule eg AA, FAS, II\ÅS, HIBÅ, STAIIP section of IJC%TT. Only this out—dated schedule determines uhe ther architects are Unattached or not (5,582 of them, nearly of UK Architects). So called Unattached Architects are often members of other important bodies within the building industry such as: IBCO CIOB AUEW-TI\SS RICS Contacts John Allan David Roebuck Work 01 607 0896 Eddy Walker ) Work 0532 445795 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eddy Walker Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived JA Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Apr-84 https://nam.maydayrooms.org/files/original/0e34107cfb680a9d42f3487ce47a3f63.pdf 62facbff0a7ab776eba2988bed71d911 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Shortl y there wi l l take pl ace the el ecti on of ' unattached ' Counci l l ors for next year ' s Counci l of the Archi tects ' Regi strati on Counci l of the United Kingdom (ARCIJK) . In these el cti ons a group of candi dates present themsel ves to represent those archi tects on the Regi ster who do not belong to any of the consti tuent bodies of ARCIJK which have the r i gh t , under the 1931 Act , to nominate members to Counci l on the basi s of one member f or every 500 (or porti on of 500) of thei r own membership . The most important of these, numeri cal l y , i s the RIBA with 42 members for next year , but al so l i sted are such bodi es as the Archi tectur al Assoc at i on (2 members) , the Facul ty of Archi tects and Surveyors ( 1 member ) the Incorporated Assoc at ion of Archi tects and Surveyors ( 1 member ) and S. . . 1 memebr ) . number of other organi sati ons nominate a member , but not on a numerical basi s . Archi tects not bel ongi ng to any of these organsi ati ons are the so-cal l ed ' unattached - for next year thei r number has grown to 6610 (the numbers grow ei ther through newl y-qual i f i ed archi tect E not joi ni ng any of the consti tuent bodi es , or through the resi gnat i on of ol der ones) wi th 14 representati ves on Counci l . Si nce they represent about one quarter of the professi on , it i s i mportant that there shoul d be , at l east i n thei r consti tuency ' of the 'unattached some understandi ng of what they stand for . It i s al so i mportant that these archi tects exerci se thei r r i ght to vote (often onl y about 20% do so) and , i f they f i nd no cand idates who represent thei r vi ews , that they nominate , i n future years , candi dates who do so. The Act al so set up a Board of Archi tectural Education on which , apart from representati ves of the Counci l , an even wider range of educati onal and other organsi ati ons are represented . These i nc l ude ( as now amended ) most of the School s of archi tecture. Those ' unattached Counc i l l ors and candi datess who have si gned th i s statement are i n no sense an organi sed group . But they do share some common ground which i s set out here for i n for nati on , wi der debate and to encourage greater parti c i pati on i n the el ect i on . ARCIJK IN AND OUT OF THE NEWS Most arch i t ects , beyond paying the necesary annual retenti on fee , have no contact wi th the organi sat i on , no i dea of what I t does , and l i tt l e i nterest i n i t s debates . I n recent months there was short l i ved medi a coverage of a rumpus between the RIBA and ARCUK on what appeared , to 1 most outsiders, to be tri vi al and l egal i sti c issues about the way people had been appointed onto ARCIJK Counci l and i ts Board of Archi tectural Education. Once there was news of an amicable rapprochenen t between the two bodi es , ARCUK once agai n sank i nto i ts customary obl i vi on ! But that rumpus was the t i p of an iceberg whose submerged porti on represents very real di fferences wi thi n ARCIJK on the way i ts rol e i s percei ved . The 'unattached have consi stentl y pressed that i nterpretati on of ARCUK ' s rol e which , as f ar as the Acts al l ow , broaden i ts representati veness , 1 ncrease i t s democratic processes and open to the publ ic i ts debates and i ts reports (e . g . an education ) . Above al l , they have recogni sed that the processes by which bui l di ngs come to be desi gned - whether forfthe s ate , l oca l authori t i es or pri vate devel opers as cl ients - exclude he 95% or so of the popul ati on whi ch (beyond perhaps wni or buying i ts own house) has no direct fi nanci al i nterest i n any bui lding project. These people are commonl y referred to as ' users which def i nes a role where f i nance , desi gn , producti on , ownershi p and management of the bui l di ng stock i . e . al l control of resources - i s excluded . Powerl ess , and di senfranchi sed , thei r i nterests are so i ndi rectl y represented , i f at a l l , that they may be better def i ned as ' sufferers ' of bui ldings rather than ' users . The Communi ty Archi tecture movement , wi th i ts strange al l i ance between Pri nce Charles, the RIBA and some devel opers, has come i nto bei ng as one response to the al i enati on whi ch ' users experience, especi al l y i n housi ng . Whi l st the movement has certai nl y had some l i mi ted successes , on the whol e i ts rhetori c now masks i ts unwi l l i ngness for any real transfer of resources to those who have none. So the tri vi al debates on form and styl e , the conti nui ng aesthet i c , soc i al and techni cal f ai l ures and the cl osed debate i n some School S , continue . Natural l y educati on i s seen by us as a central area of concern i nc l udi ng accepti ng the ful l responsi b i l i tes for recogni sing (through Vi s i t i ng Boards) and , i f necessary , hol di ng , exami nations as l ai d upon ARCIJK by the Act . The current negoti ati ons wi th the RIBA for joi nt Vi s i t i ng Boards are a step i n the di recti on of assuning thi s responsi bi l i ty i nstead of del egati ng i t , Hi th l i ttl e pol i cy control to others. As far as upholding and improving the standards of practice are concerned , we see i t as important that d i sc i pl i n ary powers wi th regard to disgraceful or unprofessi oal conduct should be used , where appropri ate , not onl y wi th regard to professi onal i ntegr i ty , but al so wi th regard to performance. So the ai m of produci ng bui ldi ngs wi th good , or at l east adequate , performance becomes the ul t i mate cr i ter i on . A VIEW OF ARCIJK ' S ROLE It i s cl ear that Par l i ament i ntended , i n 1 9 3 1 , to set up a mechani sm whereby the Statutory control of archi tectural practi ce and educati on shoul d be exerci sed by a group representat i ve of more than merel y the professi on i tsel f by bri ngi ng i n others who represented independent and pub l i c i nt erests . Al though the l i st of such bodies l ooks somewhat quai nt today , the Parl i ament of the day tr i ed , accordi ng to i ts l i ghts , to bring i n the infl uence of other educational bodi es , bui l di ng crafstmen and trade uni ons , the major Government commissioning Departments, and other professions i n the bui l ding i ndustry. In other words the i nf l uence of those who would work wi th arch i tects , comi ssi on them and produce the bui l di ngs they desi gned . I t i s reasonable to suppose that i t was al so intended that the users , at l east of the pub l oc bui l di ng stock , would be represened by the machinery set kip . these i nte f i ons have been l argel y frustrated. Some general objecti ves concerning ARCUK ' s and the professi on ' s i nternal structure fol l ow from Fi rst , that ARCIJK should work towards becomi ng a ful l y democratic body, i n which every archi tect has one vote , for a si ngl e national l i st of archi tect candi dates. Second , that wi thi n i ts own membership , ARCIJK promote such pol ic i es w i ll i nc ease communication between archi tects and the Counci l . And thi rd that ARCUK O use -every avai l abl e means to create equal opportuni ti es wi thi n the professi on , i rrespecti ve of race , gender or creed . There al so fal l ow more speci f i c obj ecti ves which rel ate to the posi t ion of archi tects i n the communi ty. The si gnatori es of th i s statement are ' unattacehd ' Counci l members , or candi dates. What fol l ows would probabl y be supported , i n general terms , by most members of Counci l and i ts Board. It i s the emphases and speci f i c detai l s , i f anything , which di sti ngui sh the pol i c i es of these ' unattached from the wider consensus. Speci f i c objecti ves 1 .

(vi) Over the past year I have represented the interests of Unattached Architects during sub-Committee preparation of draft documents concerning Disciplinary Procedures, hopefully enabling those of us who judge to be more enlightened, better informed and above all democratically fair. If reælected I will attempt to continue in this role. Together with Disciplinary Procedures and inter-European qualifications, Education continues to be a growing sphere of power for ARCIJK with regard to the European Community. I will endevour to represent the Unattached in these areas. Architects everywhere in Europe should be accountable to the public. 1 �JAMES ROBERT ALISTAIR BLAMIRE 41 years 1975 Unattached Self-employed inner city housing. architect Previously with Arcade a salaried Architects architect in in Edinburgh. central and working local governmentmainly on and in private practice both in Britain and the US.

(vi) The 'Unattached' numbers are substantially up again this year giving us a further seat on Council and a greater voice in the debates on education. conduct and discipline, tie EC Directive and finance. But although the electorate has been on the increase for many years now there is concern among the •Unattached' councillors about the consistently low poll at elections. In order to reverse this tend and to channel energy effectively moves are underway to create greater cohesiveness within and wider publicity for the group of which I am a represenätive on Council. The primary intention is to promote ARCUKs statutory duties in edJcanon and what I believe to be its proper role as a public interest body.

Fourteen people Will be ELECTED onto the Council this year by the free vote of architects in ali types ot employment. This will be one more than last year and so the democratic representation continues to increase.

The votes cast in last year's election for unattached councillors were less than 25% of the possible total. This represents a lack of interest second only to the turnout at some local authority elections during the World Cup. It hardly displays enthusiasm for ensuring that unattched councillors can act with confidence based on an active electorate. You may have noticed that the unattached have another seat on Council next year, a total of fourteen. In the next few years it is possible that the unattached will hold a substantial minority, if not a majority, of seats on Council. Make an effort, vote. ensure your colleagues vote, stand for election next year, contact your councillors and express your concerns over the future of your profession. 3 ALLEN BERNARD EDWARD GEAL 41 years 1973 Unattached Present professional post: Architect, Urban Design City of Bristol. Previous experience: Architect in pnvate pracbce. Student Representative, School Academic Committee, University of Bath. ARCUK Member of Council 1985 - ; Professional Purposes Committee 1985 - The statutory and indepen±nt role of ARCUK must be asserted against tie narrow •professional- interests of the RIBA This can be achieved hus: The assumption of full ARCUK control over architectural education and the encouragement and extension of relevant research. That is: the endng of RIBA involvement in the Visiting Boards and in the recognition ofSchools of Architecture. Increasing the professional and academic links with European Community professions whilst maintaining our traditional US and Commonwealth links. A vigorous and reasoned response to t•te National Council for Vocational Oaaflfications (a new quango!) in line with those of the Medical and Legal professionsand in distinction to the uncritical and shortsighted RIBA attitude. A reform of the principal Registration Act to bring it into line with the Medical Registration Act That is, to reduce the representation of professional bodies to a nominal (and appropriate!) level and form a Council largely from drecdy elected members of the profession. Now is the time. 4 28 years 1986 Unattached Salaried architect, Property Services Agency, Central Office for Wales. Previous professional experience in local government and private practice, and research into the subject of flexibility in office design, sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Council. South Wales Women Architects Group. I believe that architectural practice should be foundedon technical competence, and I am therefore interested in approaches to education, information supply and professional organisation that would assist the achievement of a high standard of building performance. It is my conviction that research into the built enviorment is necessary to augment our understanding of how buildings work, and to provide design guidance for architects. I am concerned about public mistrust of the profession and welcome any initiative to set up a closer relationship between users and architects. I feel that sucessful design must acknowledge people's needs and preferences. MICHAEL JENKS 42 years 1975 Unattached Principal Lecturer in Architecture, and Head of Continuing Education, Oxford Polytechnic. ARCUK Council 1984-87. BAE 19857, GPC 1986-7, Awards Panel 1985-7, Advisory Panel 1985-7, Continuing Education Committee. Faculty and Departmental Boards, Oxford Polytechnic. The number of unattached architects is growing. and with it our voice in Council. We have been active in ARCUK's strengthened role in education and in moves to be more closely involved with the validating process through proposals for Joint Visiting Boards. The unattached have an important say in the architectural debate. and are part of the wide representation enabled by ARCUK's constitution. The attack on this constitution by factional interests in the RIBA is a malign attempt to undermine ARCUK's control. and with it the repsentation of unattached architects. Resisting this attempt has wasted valuable time when there are so many vital issues to debate that affect the profession both now and in the future. If elected I will , with other unattached representatives, continue to promote and support moves to strengthen ARCtJKs rightful role as a body that is democratic, representative, publicly accountable. and supportive of architectural education and practice. 5 MARY ELIZABETH KELLY 29 years 1985 Unattached Salaried architect with Bradford Communiry Technical Aid Service at present.

It is essential that debate within the profession, and on ARCUK Council. is encouraged so that as many different voices are heard and can contribute. Such debate as there is on Council at the present is largely due to the efforts of the Unattached to bring into question certain majority assumptions and argue for change where and when it appears to be necessary. I feet that it is time for ARCUK to take up the mantle of duties allotted under the Act and be seen anci heard to be rue representative ot all members of the prolession and not simply promoting the views of any one constituent body. I would like to see evi&nce of greater encouragement being given to women to enter the profession by an increase in tie numbers of women on Council.

Until recently I was ViceChairperson of CND Cymru (Wales) and a member of the New Architecture Movement The representatives whom you have sent to Council have consistently sruggled to reinsäte ARCIJK's statutory authority in architectural education. I have been part of that sÜuggte since fre mid-197ffs. In contrast to RIBA connivance in educational cuts (eg. via the Esher report). we have won support for ARCUK's rejection of efforts to slash Schools of Architecture and student opportunities. Regrettably more. much more. has yet to be done. We now face wider - and wilder - threats to student numbers, to Schools, to the length of courses. In addition,we must continue our long-standng struggles to make ARCUK a representative forum; one with extensive lay representation and one which reflects the composition of the profession. Vote unattached - help us to fight for a future for archtectural education, for architecture. 6 THOMAS ANDREW MARKUS 59 years 1950 Unattached Professor (Emeritus) of Building Science, University of Strathclvde, Glasgow.

(vi) I have worked in ARCUK and outside it for detachment of architectural products from the aims of elite power groups. This means the transfer of power in design, resource control and management to those with little power — i.e. the vast majority of building users — involving the defence, by ARCUK, of Parliament's clear intention to bring a measure of public control into architectural practice and education. 7 SHEELAGH MARIE THERESE McMANUS 0) 28 years 1985 Unattached Currently a member of Matrix Feminist Design Cooperative.

This is the first stage of new legislation throughout the EEC which Will enable architects who have qualified and registered in one member state to have their status automatically recognised by any other member state. In naming ARCUK as the •Competent Authority' to administer and implement the EEC Directive in the UK. the British Government is quite rightly recogn•sing ARCUK as the Statutory Body responsible for the recognition of Architectural qualifications and the regulating of the Architectural Profession in this country. The Unattached play a vital role within ARCUK of reminding people of exactly what ARCUKs• statutory role is and working towards greater fulfillment of its (presently only partly assumed) role as defined in the 1931 Architects Registration Act. It is the only body which has the potentional to represent ALL architects' views in a democratic fashion.

Letters depressing prospect that valuable time and energy now seems likely to be wasted in fighting over old ground that has already been won, thereby diverting attention from new and more fruitful lines of progress. Yet RIBA blimps must realise that any attempts to return Arcuk to the old ways will be resisted — not only by the unattached who now know the game, but by other interests in council and BAE which have discovered that the RIBA is not a reliable ally in times of political pressure. Government appointees have likewise necessarily adopted a higher supervisory profile in view of Arcuk's enlarged EEC duties, and even the press has a positive part to play in giving effective coverage to Arcuk's affairs, including reportage of deliberate fouls. Instead of trying to turn the clock back, RIBA would-be saboteurs should overcome their fear of change, recognise that the institute's period of hegemony is ending and make a constructive contribution to Arcuk's overdue transition from wardship to adulthood.
