Preamble Purpose Mood The character of the movement is participatory. Thus the seminar should semi-exploratory, Generally it-has been anticipated that the morning session will be very be welcoming, intimate, conversational, structured using well prepared material presented in such a way that it will stimulate debate, The afternoon is lightly structured so that the seminar may find its om form, It is important that anyone sympathetic What the Seminar must Achieve Clarify demands and strategies and present them in a coherent manner, Identify through participation further demands and strategies. Publicise the movement by showing that it has serious content and intent. and un-rhetorical. Tekin ape’ es, New Architecture Movement, London Seminar The seminar is to enable NAM to demonstrate to its membership and to its peers that it is a constructive movement and that it has covered ground since its birth at the Harrogate Congress. To be held at the Covent Garden Community Centre on Saturday, May 22, 1976. The NAM London Seminar has been called by the Central London Group. It does not have the status of a national congress. No changes are anticipated at this stage in the structure of the movement. The seminar is seen as a preparatory meeting for the Second Congress of N.A.M to be held in November, to the basic premises should feel that they can impress their view point upon the movement.— Provide greater contact among the membership, especially those outside the groups. Provide a spring board for the existing groups Form new groups. Attract more people. Resolve the inherent paradox within the movement that although it has a “grass roots" structure it needs to present a coherent face to the outside world in order to be claerly identified. |* |-2 .| os . é- 3=oe -:a |- *.eo | =se z-:= : +.3x - - a ¥ 2.

TheBAE,establishedbyparliamine1n93t51,hasthestatutory function of recognising examinations the passing of which qualifies persons for admission to the Register of Architects. its duties are therefore of prime importance both to the profession and to the public interest in that the great majority of architects enter the Register by virtue of having passed an examination approved : by the Board.

From 1932 to 19635 the Board sought evidence, covering all aspects of their courses, from schools wishing to have their courses rec- Ognised, From 1963, however, the board decided to abandon this direct relationship with the schools and rely upon the findings of RIBA quinquennial Visiting boards, the recommendations of which were "rubober-stamped" by the Board.of Architectural Education, in 1974, however, the Board had second thoughts and secured token representaftion on KIBA Visiting boards to the effect that - "€t least one member of each Visiting Board should represent the interests of both ARCUK and the RIBA."

The Committee had also sent letters to the RIBA, the IAAS and the FAS, and to ten schools of architecture mentioned in the Second Schedule to the Act, inviting them to supply the following particulars for the consideration of an ad hoc Committee: (1) Present scheme of examination - whether single or a series of examinations. (2) General educational standard demanded for candidates (3) Date of foundation of course or examination, (8) Examination methods, as for example, whether results are approved by a Board of Moderators or External Examiners or otherwise. (7) Names and qualifications of Examiners and subjects taken by then. (10) Any other particulars thought desirable by the school or examining body making the application. (a) by schools for entrance to the course, or (b) by examining bodies for entrance to examination. (4) Figures showing percentage entered, passed and relegated during the last five years, or from such later period as the examination may have been founde (5) Syllabus of course or examination. (6) Questions set for each examination held during the last five years or less period since foundation, (9) Representative work ef five successful candidates both in Testimonies of Study and in examination or examinations themselves, together with programmes for design. Not more than five sheets of original drawings should be submitted of each student's work. Eight members were deputed by the GPC to examine the particulars, drawings etc. received from the applicants, and two computations were made in each case. First the standard and scope of the course and examination as shown by the requirements of the Examiners in preliminary drawings and reports, the subjects included and the quality of the papers set; syllabuses and curricula were consulted; all questions sent in were read and subjects assessed on an agreed basis of comparison, that being the RIBA Intermediate and Final Examinations as being the best known. Secondly, the standard of the work done by the candidates and the standard of marking etc. were assessed. Finally, on these two data, the scope and standard of the examination and the quality of the work submitted, the whole course or examination was given an assessed value.

In addition, the following drawings, notebooks and examination scripts are to be submitted on behalf of three students who have obtained high marks, and also two others who have just satisfied the Examiners, in each year of the course for the past three years, or for such shorter period as the examinations have been held. If there are fewer than five students in any year of the course the work of all those students shall be submitted. (a) Portfolios of work and/or testimonies of study in each year of the course. (b) Complete sets of students' notebooks for each year of the course. (c) The worked examination papers in each subject in each year of the course. The maximum mark obtainable, the pass mark, and marks actually awarded should be clearly indicated in each case. 10. Any further particulars thought desirable. This procedure was followed in every case, including overseas schools until 1963 _ when ARCUK started to be represented on RIBA first recognition visits to the schools “instead of the schools sending voluminous documentation to the Board of Architectural Education. April, 1980 Kenneth J. Forder Registrar te From 1963, following the increase in the number of schools, a sophisticated system was designed and administered by the RIBA with a roster of architects and architect/educationalists from which visiting teams were drawn. Guides were drawn up for schools to provide information and material prior to visits, as well as guides for conducting visits and reporting on them. Through these quinquennial visits in the 60's the experience of members of Visiting Boards led to increasing expertise in assessing the resources of schools and the standards they achieved. In addition the Visiting Boards took on the task of monitoring the examinations in Professional Practice and Management. These had increased in scope following the introduction of Practical Training in 1961 and the structuring of courses, supervision and examinations had been delegated to the schools, In 1965 the forming of the Commonwealth Board of Architectural Education extended the UK system to schools throughout the Commonwealth on a voluntary basis. During the following years UK members of the RIBA roster were invited to participate in many visits abroad on a ‘sampling’ basis to help in establishing common standards and report to the CBAE. From 1963 until 1974 ARCUK piayed no part in the quinquennial Visiting boards, but in 1974 it was agreed that conditions had changed and that if the statutory BAE was properly to undertake the task of recognizing examinations in architecture for the purpose of registration, it must have first hand knowledge of the courses leading up to these examinations. Hence in 1974 it was agreed that ARCUK should be represented on all the RIBA Visiting Boards to schools whose Part 2 was recognized by the Council. / é 3 } At least one member of each Visiting Board should represent the interests of both ARCUK and the RIBA. On quinquennial Visiting Boards ARCUK has one such representative although in fact frequently two or even three of the members of the Visiting Board are members of the BAE or Council; but when a School requests initial recognition of their Part 2 course ARCUK has two to three members on the VisitingBoard. ame The General Purposes Committee of the BAE receive very full reports on all Visits; and make recommendations to the BAE. A precis of each report is circulated to BAE members, and the full report is made available at ARCUK for any BAE (or Council) member who wishes to refer to it. aoe | Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DB/BM Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived John Murray Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 1980 https://nam.maydayrooms.org/files/original/76997b47427b3bc8ea5d256e26868a87.pdf b301ff299afa1d8d72252f428d65f5c9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Almost a quarter of a million output has slumped; building costs have rocketed; millions building workers are unemployed; and roads that are only a few years old; and yet contractors’of pounds need to be spent shoring upbuildings Building firms contract for every job they profits have reached record levels.

Furthermore, employment is no longer subjected to the cycle of Stability of Employ {Di lisati Permanent employ ina DLO booms and slumps and the effects that are generated by the contracting system. Unionisation: Permanent employment has led to high levels of unionisation — an important reason for the good working conditions in DLOs. Good Working Conditions, including Health and Safety: Because the all-embracing need for profit is removed, DLOs conform to health and safety regulations. Accident rates in Manchester DLO are under half those in the private sector and in Sandwell DLO there has never been a fatal or serious accident. Good working conditions also result, since there is no motive to scamp on work or facilities. Training: DLOs offer vastly superior training facilities. They employ over 10,000 apprentices and the larger ones operate extensive training programmes. Manchester employs more that all the contractors in the area put together. This isdespite the fact that DLOs are not eligible for the state grants given to contractors. Lump labour. of the Lump: Under the Lump work is subcontracted on a labour-only basis and the worker is self-employed. Permanent employment in DLOs is an effective guarantee against the use of * A Transformed Production Process: With a considerable expansion of DLOs, planned building prog- rammes would be possible, and design and building could be integrated. Both would result in a vastly superior building product, which was more responsive to the needs of the final user. The larger DLOs have demonstrated the advantages of large-scale workshops and the planned introduction of modem machinery, * Lower Rents: The lower building costs resulting from non-contracting mean, firstly, lower rents. In addition, the expansion of direct labour leads to the real possibility of lowering the enormous burden of interest charges imposed upon council housing. Once this is achieved, rents would fall dramatically. Responsive Building Service: DLOs have no incentive to scamp work or cause immense disruption to tenants. Where they were called in to do repair work, DLOs are quicker and more reliable. Accountability: DLOs are accountable and answerable to tenant complaints. Tenants, therefore, can have a greater say in work undertaken by DLOs for, as a service, their operations are public information. Direct labour DIRECT LABOUR AS A SERVICE SLUMP IN OUTPUT Workloads have fallen dramatically over the past four years. Output has dropped by almost a third. BUT CONTRACTORS DON’T LOSE * Record Profits: Many contractors have increased their profits in every year of the slump. In 1977, Newarthill’s (McAJpines) rose by 127% to £11'4 million, Marchweil by 25% to £13 million, and Wimpey’s made over £50 million and avoided paying tax on it. Large Cash Holdings: In addition, contractors have amassed vast fortunes in cash with which to playthe money market and stock exchange. Dividends and share prices have boomed. In 1973 Costain’s held £5.7 million in cash, and Taylor Woodrow nearly £9 million; by 1976 their holdings had grown to £36.7 million and £38.7 million respectively. Few Bankruptcies: The contractors are always claiming that the industry is highly competitive and that inefficient producers go to the wall. But relatively few contractors have gone bankrupt; and the crisis has demonstrated that there is no relationship between efficiency and profitability under the contracting system. Contractors Survive Slumps: Because they can lay off workers in their thousands, and have low over- heads and fixed capital. They can bide their time, taking only the more profitable work, waiting for the next boom to come along. In this way, profitability is assured but so is a building industry with appalling characteristics. ee ee 0 Tn nn aa aao Direct labour is the workforce employed by local authorities for construction work. Most local authorities have a direct labour organisation (DLO) of some sort, undertaking the building and repair of houses, schools, roads, etc. DLOs employ over 200,000 workers. ADVANTAGES TO TENANTS From their beginnings in the 1890s DLOs were intended asa service; set up as a response to the failures of the contracting em to provide a good quality product, at reasonable cost, with good working conditions and trade union rights. THE POLITICAL STRUGGLE FOR DIRECT LABOUR * The Contractors’ Attack: Aided by their Tory allies, the contractors have mounted a massive campaign against DLOs, using all the lies and distortions they can muster. Well over a million pounds have been used to finance it. Their sole concern is to preserve profit levels. They want to take lucrative work away from DLOs, and defend their tarnished image by attacking the genuine alternative to the con- tracting system that DLOs represent. Their hysteria has reached ne v heights as a result of the proposal- by the Labour Party to nationalise one or two of the largest contractors. As DLOs are publicly owned, the have ised the link b the exp of direct labour and nationalisation. So direct labour has become a test case for contractors in the defence of their interests. The Tory Attack: Where Tories have gained control of local councils, they have proceeded in a ruthless manner to destroy the DLO and sack workers. This has occured in both Birmingham and the GLC, inspite of the savings shown by the departments. Playing with Demand: The solution to the ils of the building industry is seen by both the contractors and the government to be the stabilisation of the flow of orders. But this will not work, for it will give contractors even greater monopoly power and change none of the fundamental characteristics of the industry. What is required instead is the abolition of the contracting system, and a change in the way in which building work is organised and produced. Only direct labour offers this as a practical possibility today. The Threat to Direct Labour as a Service: Strong moves are being made by Government and the con- tractors to undermine direct labour asa service by insisting that DLOs act like contractors. They want them to tender for work, with the overriding objective of making as much profit as possible. This would hard won imp: in working diti and destroy all the principles on which direct labour is based. The main losers would be workers and tenants. This is in addition to a general policy of running down council housing which also means worse housing conditions and rents for tenants, and jeopardises jobs in DLOs. * The Fight to Defend and Expand Direct Labour: Campaigns to counteract the contractors’ pernicious attacks are underway. The Confederation of Local Authorities Stewards (CLAWS) now helps to set up ‘and coordinate action committees throughout the country. These are working towards greater unity between all sections of the Labour Movement — trade unions and residents — over the issue of direct labour. In Sandwell, W. Midlands, the Tenants’ Liason Committee meets regularly with DLO shop stewards to sort out problems over repairs and to increase the role of direct labour.Elsewhere, other council workers are also joining in campaigns: for example, in Wandsworth and Hackney in London. SSEE SS EE) ADVANTAGES TO WORKERS THE BUILDING PRODUCT — LOWER COSTS Removal of Profit: Private contractors build in order to make profits. With direct labour as a service charging at cost, this profit element is removed. For this reason alone costs will fall. Removal of Contractors’ Waste: The contracting system costs local authorities a fortune — in the costs of failed tender bids (which they end up paying through higher prices), and the whole administrative apparatus required to run the tendering system. Even more costs are involved in contractors’ time and cost overruns, site walkouts, shoddy work and bankruptcies. With work by direct labour these costs do not arise. Nor do the substantial health and social costs of casual employment. A Better Product: DLOs build higher quality, lower cost buildings than do contractors. Between 1961 and 1976 Manchester DLO saved £1.5 million against the architect’s valuation plus £2.3 million against the next lowest tender. In one year, between 1975-6, Lambeth saved £1.3 million against the next lowest tender, and between 1971 and 1977 Colchester DLO (which is now being run-down) saved £1 million. Initial high quality means reduced maintenance costs. DLOs, anyhow, provide a much better repair and maintenance service. It is far more responsive and flexible, and it is much cheaper. The GLC has estimated that it would cost at least £8 million per year more to use contractors rather than the DLO. contract terms are broken in order to increase profits. Outrageous claims for additional costs are made, and completion dates delayed. Clients, including local authorities, have little control over either the quality or the cost of the work done. Monopoly: To keep profits high, contractors fix prices through monopolies and ringing. Some individual contractors have acquired a virtual monopoly over specific types of work. Corruption is rife. The name of Bryants is now famous as a result of their bribing Birmingham’s chief architect to obtain contracts. * Design Faults: Under the contracting system, design and building are separate. Untried designs are I hed by either archi or Frantic pts to make a quick profit mean that scant regard is paia to long-term reliability and maintenance costs. Failures such as Ronan Point and high alumina cement are an inevitable and costly result. Ironically, contractors are now making money out of remedying these faults. Poor Quality, Expensive Buildings: All these features lead to an enormous catalogue of inadequate and costly buildings. £100 million needs to be spend remedying faults in motorways in the Midlands; schools have collapsed; many new council houses are chronically damp because of leaky roofs or condensation; and new hospitals in Glasgow, Liverpool and London cannot be fully utilised for years. In Camden on just one site, Alexandra Road, Laings final price is £13-15 million more than the original tender of £5 million. WORKERS Casual Employment: Most workers are only hired on a temporary basis to work on one contract. When their task is finished they are laid off. At least a third of the workforce is out of work for a part of the year. This casual employment is endemic to the contacting system. Under it the lump flourishes. Unemployment: Casual jobs mean high levels of unemployment even during booms. The present slump has led to almost 400,000 construction-related jobs disappearing. Many workers have left the industry altogether; hundreds of thousands are on the dole — 221,817 were registered unemployed in February 1978. Wages: Construction workers do not get a decent basic wage, often bonuses make up over half their pay. During slumps, bonuses are cut, so earnings fall. Limited Training: At best, contractors provide minimal training facilities. Most training is now run and paid for by the state. In spite of the chronic shortage of skilled workers, the number of apprentices em- ployed by contractors dropped by over a half between 1964 and 1973. It is even lower now, with many apprentices being made redundant. Poor safety, health and working conditions: In 1975, 18lworkers were killed on site; many were injured or maimed. An official government report predicts that, unless the situation changes, 2000 more will die during the next ten years and 400,000 will be injured. Most can be blamed on the working conditions created by management. Dust, damp and poor working conditions also make building work unhealthy. Contractors are loath to forgo profits to improve this. Site facilities and safety precautions are generally primitive and rudimentary. Low Levels of Unionisation: Casual employment means that many workers do not even belong to a union; So it is difficult to fight for better working conditions, a decent basic rate and against redundancies.

(20 THE FUTURE OF BUILDING CONTROL IN ENGLAND AND “VALTS Introduction EXEMPTION ANNEX A 1 1. In his speech of 10 December 1979, the Secretary of State reviewed the nature and extent of criticisms levied against the current system of building control and the Building Regulations. He announced a radical revicw and invited comments from all interested parties. As guidelines he set out four principal objectives: a) maximum self-regulation b) minimum government interference c) total self-financing and in operation d) simplicity and identified a number of possible means to these ends. 2. This speech has elicited a widespread and searching response. Following a careful scrutiny of all the points made to him, the Secretary of State has chosen certain options on which he is minded to take action, subject to furthcr comments which are made to him. 3. Those buildings now exempt from formal control under the Building Regulations are Crown buildings, the operational buildings of statutory undertakers, and maintained schools and colleges. Underlying this exemption is the consideration that the bodies concerned are publicly accountable for their policies and have the continuity and the means to pay any compensation that may be awerded against them. These characteristics give an assurance of public responsibility over the design and construction of buildings and redress if necessary. On this basis it is logical to extend formal exemption to all buildings of statutory undertakers and also to all the buildings of local authorities. The Secretary of State would however exp ct all exempt bodies to comply with the technical requirements of the regulations, or their equivalents. 4. It is also proposed to exempt from the regulations certain types of buildings, of which some are at present partially exempt. Action is already in hand to exempt completely some agricultural buildings at present partially exempt and consideration will be given to exempting industrial buildings constructed solely to house plant or machinery and occupied by people only from time to time for purposes of inspection or maintenance. 5. Alterations and extensions to existing buildings make up most of the applications for tuwilding approval. The jobs are varied and often carried out without professional advice: there is no obvious means of classifying them as likely or not to impair safety and health. Even if such classification were possible local authorities would still have a formidable task in checking public understanding and compliance. Some minor works, however, would be exempt from the regulations: the sort of things the Secretary of State has in mind are: a a) detached domestic buildings such as garages and car—ports, and : b) greenhouses, sun—lounges and porches built on to dwellings. CERTIFICATION 6. At present, enforcement is a procedure entirely for the local authorities. The risks to life from structural failure are low and the present system has undoubtedly contributed to this, but it is frequently criticised as cumbersome and bureaucratic: the Secretary of State considers it desirable that an alternative should be available. He notes that from time to time local authorities make use of consultants to check calculations and to inspect works on their behalf. He notes also that the NHBC already provides a system of inspection for new houses covered by its warranty scheme. He is therefore minded to provide that certification by a "competent person" should be available in all cases as an option to local authority approval. It normally would be for the owner or developer to decide whether to exercise this option. However, there may be a case for allowing local authorities to ask for certification in certain circumstances or for the Secretary of State to require certification for specified matters, such as energy conservation. 7. Local authorities would be bound to accept properly tendered certificates and, beyond checking that the certifier was a "competent person", would have no responsibility; for the works — nor would they receive a fee. The local authority's responsibilities and liabilities for the works, under building control measures, would pass, on acceptance of the certificate, to the certifier. LIABILITY 9. The Secretary of State is aware of the concern over the liability, and in particular the possible duration of liability, now attaching to local authorities in cases where negligence is occuring in the enforcement of building regulations. He is also aware of similar concern on the part of firms and professions engaged in the construction industry. 8. A national list of "competent persons' would be required: this is a matter which the Secretary of State sees as central to health and safety. Professional bodies could no doubt advise on individuals and practices whose qualifications, experience and insured status made them candidates for inclusion. Other bodies might qualify: for example, the N'BC might be regarded as a ‘competent person‘ for certification of new private housing. Minor works, services and thermal insulation might be “self-certificed". For structural works the certifier should be an independent third party. To ensure simplicity, and to clarify liabilities, the certificate put to the local authority should cover the whole of the project and the certifier or certifiers would guarantee that it had been designed, and would be built, in compliance with the regulations. APPEALS INNER LONDON 14. It is for consideration whether the new system that follows 3F 10. However, many of the legal issues which give rise to this concern are not confined to building control or to the construction industry, and the Secretary of State welcomes the Lord Chancellor's proposal to refer the question of latent damage to the Law Reform Committee. In view of this proposal, the Secretary of State believes that any issues which fall within the terms of that reference should first be considered by the Committee. Possible changes to the law such as limiting liability for negligence to actions started within a fixed period from the date of completion of the works would clearly be matters which the Committee would consider. ll. The Building Regulations are widely criticised as too complex, too detailed and difficult to comprehend. They are designed to be all-embracing, precise and justiciable — Objectives which are incompatible with Simplicity of style. It is not possible to deal BUILDING REGULATIONS in simple non-technical terms with Subjects which are themselves technical and involved. 12. The Secretary of State is therefore considering reducing the requirements of the regulations to a minimum number of functional requirements and performance standards set out in subordinate legislation along with procedural matters. For the rest, the formal concept of deemed-to-satisfy would be abandoned in favour of informal arrangements by which the Secretary of State would €ive his approval to codes of practice and other technical requirements as being useful guides to compliance. The increased flexibility provided by these arrangements would ease a number of problems, for example, those which arise in reconciling the regulations with Standards for specialised buildings, such as hospitals. A place could be maintained for energy conservation, expressed as performance Standards; and there would be scope in the system for enhancing the status of Agrement Certificates. 13. Consideration will also need to be &1iven to the system for dealing with appeals, bearing in mind that the Secretary of State does not wish to adjudicate matters which are essentially for local determination; nor is it usually appropriate for such matters to go before the Magistrates! Courts. these proposals should in due course supersede the present system in Inner London.

Following comparative research of possible options, NAM encouraged unionisation of building design staffs within the private sector, negotiating the establishment of a dedicated section within TASS. Though recruitment was modest the campaign identified many of the issues around terms of employment and industrial relations that underpin the processes of architectural production.

Yours fraternally, ec: Liaison Group (Unionisation) Organising Committee London Group a»hoNodALfiorAMN INTRODUCTION "We believe that this conference should recommend that STAMP is the union architectural workers in the private sector should be encouraged to join, in accordance with the Bridlington Agreement, "' Unionisation of architectural workers was first discussed at NAM's first congress at Harrogate in November, 1975, but little development followed this discussion, The spur to the formation of policy on unionisation came at the London Seminar last May, basically asa response to the talk given by Peter Carter, a member of the Union of Construction and Allied Trade Technicians (UCATT), calling for strong links between building and architectural workers. After the London Seminar there have been two developments on this idea: the formation of papers and policies for unionisation; and the links between NAM and the Green Ban Action Committee. A paper in favour of STAMP for the NAM Unionisation Conference, The papers presented to NAM's Blackpool Congress gave an excellent understanding of why architectural workers should unionise, but they did not explain one convincing argurnent as to how this might be achieved. The amount of work done on the first part of the paper did an excellent job which resulted in NAM's Blackpool Congress giving priority to the unionisation of architectural workers, The Unionisation Organising Committee's Task The mandate of the Unionisation Organising Committee (UOC) was to prepare a conference at which the membership of NAM could decide the best way of unionising architectural workers. This involved two main studies, (1) what is the best way for NAM to benefit from unionisation, and (2) what is the best way for architectural workers to benefit from unionisation, The rest of this report is, therefore, split into two main parts: 1 .NAM forSTAMP 2 STAMP forNAM eB NAM for STAMP At the Blackpool Conference NAM endorsed the drive for Unionization of architectural workers for three main reasons: to protect architectural workers from lay-offs, redundancies etc. in these hard economic times. To provide architectural workers with the muscle to negotiate for better pay and conditions of work. To provide NAM with muscle to promote its aims of socialising the built environment. The arguments for the first two reasons are ones of organisation, solidarity and the traditional role of trade unionism in this country. Ihope they need no further elaboration here. The third reason is the most important relationship as regards NAM and unions, ‘and one that needs emphasising to bring home its importance. At the Blackpool Congress and elsewhere the call for NAM to endorse unionisation was evident in the papers and proceedings: a NAM would need union support for the implementation of a national design service. ._(NAM Blackpool Paper: A National Design Service, page: 17.section 7. 2) jon the implementation of office Eemcusaeys NAM would require union support. (NAM Blackpool Paper: Private Practice -Progress Report, page 5, section i) the reform of ARCUK would not be possible without union support. (NAM BeSeypeey Paper: Private Practice _- Progress Report, page 8): the, use of schools obarkhiven wit as a community design centre would have to have the support of trade unions, tenant and community organisations, (NAM Blackpool Education discussion) © «0 5. ot: to alter the fixed-fee level of the RIBA will need the support of unions to ensure adequate public accountability. (NAM Monopoly Commission discussion, May 1976) to reverse the government cuts in house building NAM must support the demand for an end to cuts, especially with regard to the 220, 000 unemployed building workeis.

ThecollectivedecisionofNAMWillbearinmindinits choice’ of-aunion that to implement NAM's policies they need to be fully understood by that union. The union will, therefore, have to have a broad ana fully-developed understanding of the building industry, The only choice on these grounds is STAMP. What sort of union should architectural workers bein ? Looking to the long. term Eats ei one can visualise with the development of NAM and the strengthening of architectural workers in STAMP a situation where the development of the building industry truly begins to respond to the progressive ideas of all sections of the conpmunity, The long-term prospects for the combination of NAM and a strengthened STAMP hold out many opportunities for the development of a socially- organised building industry. . This long-term aim is one of the major incentives that recognises the benefit of STAMP. The purpose of unions in this eougtra is to organise the working population in to a force canable of gaining a decent standard of living in return for their labour. This has been achieved by three main types of union. Firstly, there is the industrial-based union, NUM, NUR, UCATT etc, are good examples of applying the ideal one industry, one union, Secondly, we have the general unions, Transport & General Workers! Union, General and Municipal Workers Union, ASTMS, etc., which fulfil a useful role by combining lots of small groupings of workers into large and powerful organisations, Thirdly, ‘we have special unions, those that combine the principle of both, NALGO, NUPE, etc., who combine all sectors of the industry government, The fact that our besses! “organisation, the RIBA, works jointly with other bosses' organisations in the building industry through a Joint National Council, highlights our as yet unorganised position, As part of the building process architectural workers should join the union that is creating the one industry/one union organisation, STAMP/ UCATT. CoAampisTtTAMP IS THE BYILDING INDUSTRY'S UNION A REVIEW OF ASTMS, EPEA, TASS, T&GWU ASTMS has suggested an adequate response should they be chosen to recruit architectural workers in the private sector. The Movement would have two main problems in joining ASTM3 a ASTMS as a general union would only be able to give support to architectural issues based solely on architects’ opinions. ASTMS itself would not be capable of gaining ’fundamental support for architectural policies in its member-~ ship. There would, therefore, be a large degree of to) os support. b © ASTMS is the general union most representative of the ' white collar worker. This would continue to perpetuate the myth that separates architectural workers from building workers, In addition, ASTMS has an overwhelming desire to incre: < its numbers and operate as the professional man's profes s:anc4 union, This tendency mitigates against active participats 1. by the membership in the running of the union and would, therefore, make it more difficult for architectural workers «2 pursue architectural policy through the union. The EPEA, Electrical Power Engineers' Association, is currentiy attempting to expand its membership outside its traditional base They see themselves as recruiting the higher levels of manageri«1i and generally only highly paid employed people. They are not tniaros*eu in recruiting the whole office staff, only the top brass, For the-< reasons and their lack of contact with the rest of the building indu:'TM,. one can rule them right out, TASS, the technical and supervisory section of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers, has offered an adequate response oe Ae the needs of an architectural workers recruitment campaign. Ts... operates for the engineering workers in offices in exactly the wa, STAMP can be made to for the building industry. Clearly the c.vi’, engineering side of TASS and the AUEW are closely related to the © building industry. The main reason for not joining TASS is the existance of STAMP aa UCATT. However, we know that there will be adequate opportun: for liaison and co-operation between STAMP and TASS in offices wheres both can expect union membership. “5 Those who favour the T&GWU will point out that it does have many members as labourers on building sites and alarge share of the’ membership in the building materials supply section. Whilst this- istrue,itdoesnothavethe .ofcoverage|ofUCATTapdSTAM It is also interesting ts note the publicity ;given to the T&GWU's ACTS success at campaigning to recruit all workers in solicit’ firms. The analogy is obviously if they can do it for solicitors, they can do it for architectural workers too. One need hardly point out that the author of the "Clericals & Clerks" article in NAM'+> SLATE is also one of the two on NAM's UOC in favour of the T&GWU The lesson is a good one though for it reinforces my point. Solicito: area small group of people not directly related to any large industry, therefore, they need their own section within a large general union. The case’ for architectural workers is totally different because we a- deeply related to the building industry. — ASTMS, TASS & T&GWU_ CONCLUSION All these unions have been most helpful in the UOC discussions with then and all have agreed that it is essential to avoid a destructive carve up of architectural workers. None of them offer a’broad understanding of the problems of the building industry and it is clear that they are not adequate to the long term aims of unionising architectural workers, HEie8k 3g2fea2saisikISys2g3ae2ee 22sIe223k2I STAMP - THE OBVIOUS CHOICE STAMP as the Supervisory, Technical, Administrative, Managerial and Professional section of UCATT: obviously has the closest possible links ‘ with the building industry, Itis eager to recruit all the sections-covere? by its name. By joining STAMP, architectural worker: will increase the base for a one union/one industry organisation. We will be able to tackle all our policy issues with the best possible understanding from all the workers in the industry, we will develop policy in conjunction with the rest of the building workers and thus ensure that they begin to relate to th« 4 T&GWU, the Transport & General Workers! Union, has offered the~ most in terms of resources for a recruitment drive. I suspect this is because of their difficulty in adequately and meaningfully realising the task. ”. The T&GWU is roughly the blue collar equivalent of ASTMS and so it ‘has all the same problems as ASTMS, Again, the major problems’ would be isolation and tokenism. ' ~6- ’ STAMP - THE HISTORICAL DIFFICULTY - Critics of STAMP will say that there is an inadequate response from STAMP to ensure that architectural workers will be unionised. The facts of the case are different from this simplistic statement and need to go beyond the problems of personalities to explain the situation and reinforce the very fundamental reasons why architectural workers should join STAMP. A Short History of Architects and Building Workers Until the Renaissance, the architects of Europe were mainly highly- developed and skilled stone. masons. The advent of the Renaissance led to the growth of styles of architecture learnt from books and study rather than from practical building experience. From the Renaissance to the start of the Industrial Revolution two processes become apparent, Firstly, the acceptability of ''architectura! design" as a cultural pursuit worthy of gentlemen, and secondly, the traditional development of master craftsmen to architects. These two tendencies were in constant struggle against each other and that they reflected a clear class struggle between tradesmen and gentlemen, a classic class division of the Victorian era, is obvious for all to see. With this perspective, it is clear that the forraation of the RIBA was not only a means to make the practice of architecture respectable, but also a class weapon in terminating the possibility of a tradesman rising to the ranks of the gentry. A study of the development of capitalism reveals that it is beneficial to capitalism if the differences between different sectors of an industry can be exploited. The use of class rivalry has in fact been the mainstay of perpetuating the myth that architects are something special and separate from the rest of the building industry. Naturally, then, if we are to socialise the building industry and the role of architectural workers within it, we must break down in a truly funda- mental way the barriers between building and architectural work. The best answer to this is by architectural workers joining STAMP. BUT this history of separation and mutual distrust reveals still more about our present situation. whole of the building process and not just the architects! elitist position. STAMP istherecentamalgamation ofthe .old-ArchaindtBeuciltdisng Technicians’ union and the supervisors sections etc. already in UCATT.— The formation of STAMP was not an easy process, the basic force restraining its development is the very mistrust that years of separation has created between builder and architect or supervisor. This mutual mistrust of each other is, I believe, still reflected in the attitudes of progressive and active members of UCATT and STAMP. For thern, STAMP is the obvious and only choice for architects, but they are cautious. What they fear mostis that architectural workers will so upset the bulk of their membership because of our hangover elitist ideals, that the whole set up will suffer. Itis, therefore, not surprising that STAMP is not prepared to pull all its strings on our behalf unless we totally endorse the need to join with building workers for the fundamental reasons already «tated. In the light of this, STAMP's response has been quite clear: they are only too willing to have NAM favour STAMP, but only if we fully realise why we snould do so. Its all there, all you have to dois join. They are honest enough, and sensible enough not to hold out any carrots to NAM, In these views I fully concur, for there is no point in architectural workers merely joining STAMP to protect their own position at this time of recession in the whole building industry. Architectural workers must join STAMP because they see it as the starting point for breaking down the barriers and building a socialised building industry, OPPORTUNISM EXPLAINED The present desire of architectural workers to become unionised is obviously in part a response to the economic situation. Ido not remember there being any interest shown in the subject in the haydays of 1972. So we have two desires, one to unionise architects, and two, to breakdown the elitist myth. These desires can have a variety of different results depending on their success rates. Thus, to join TASS, ASTMS, or T&GWU would be opportunis¢, To join STAMP would be truly constructive. If you agree with me that NAM's aims are to socialise the built environment, then it follows that vou disagree with the perpetuation of the architect as an elite in society. Clearly it is not possible to break down the elitist myth if we do not join with building workers, The best solutio.1is then to JOIN STAMP. If we take advantage of the desire to unionise in a selfish way, whish perpetuates the architects' separatist role, we will have been found guilty of taking a short-term gnin at the exnense of others. That is politically regarded as an opportunist move.

PRESENT: John Allan Bob Maltz Giles Pe body David Burney Mick Broad Ken Thorpe (part) Ian Cooper (part) David Roebuck APOLOGIES: Eddie Walker Norman Arnold ANNUAL REVIEW: Generally and ''Code': John Allan:- (11) That the work on thecode put the u/a firmly in the No. 2 seat and by our "intimate" incorporation in its drafting recognisedtheu/aasanumerouseae ens ((sisiat)) oo A need for our cooperation because we are/"unreliable" to be left out (viz monopolies) and the need for the RIBA not to push something through on the strength of an RIBA vote. (iv) The result was consensus policies and it was necessary to elucidate this and how it would shape further action. Bob Maltz:- (i) Too much time, resources and commitment was being devoted to ARCUK at the expense of NAM. NAM was weak as a result and therefore there was a need to re-orientate and re-direct resources back to NAM. Debate between mainly BM and JSA over whether the extensive commitment and detailed work within ARCUK was the most effective way to achieve NAM's aims, in summary these arguments were The current work particularly on the code was probably the climax of all the previous work done by NAM on Code and Monopolies and that we had primarily achieved our objective of driving a wedge between RIBA and ARCUK. (ii) The emphasis of working within ARCUK blinkered our overview. ((aislit)) (iv) It was restated that our primary aim was that "ARCUK is to be a public interest body and not a front for the RIBA". Board of Architectural Education: It was decided to direct more effort to the BAE this year. As the BAE had in theory a lay majority and that we should be re-orientating the BAE by exploiting and by suggesting possible well known lay contacts on to ARCUK visiting boards. PRAP was preparing a report for Council on Continuing Education and that the u/a should nominate a councillor in order to prepare a minority report. Further NAM nominees to be put up for visiting boards and criteria to be challenged. "Clean Up" Campaign: Finnieston Report : Government had decided not to implement the report and create a statutory registration standards to be formed instead. No further action. Changes in Building Regulations: David Burney had written to Heseltine putting forward u/a's views. It appeared that Heseltine was now backtracking on self—certification. lay representation body. A bodyon educational We should be pursuing our aims with respect to ARCUK outside, i.e. through press, Privy Council, Legal and by building alliances outside e.g. Unions, M.P.s. We should be using our ARCUK status for pursuing other aims rather than solely pursuing our aims within ARCUK. The debate was rather wide ranging and generally unresolved at present but as our work on the Code was shortly to end this would be an opportunity to change direction. It was agreed that the letter prepared for all the nominating authorities should be re-drafted and used in the press rather than risk upsetting those existing nominees who were sympathetic to our aims. No actions since solicitors letter. Work to be directed to considering proposals for re-scheduling schedule I of the Act rather than attempting some legal "nice ones". Monopolies: Keyte: Committee Representation: Bob Maltz as reserve. D.B. to contact B.A. PPC —- Edward Walker Norman Arnold GPC - Giles Peabody David Roebuck Admissions - Mick Broad ANO Free election BAE —- Alan Lipman and ANO PPC —- David Roebuck John Allan to see if interested. This work was now at an end in ARCUK's terms as all our criteria were being met by the proposed new code. It was decided that if ARCUK voted not to remove him from the register that we should ensure that there is adequate press coverage. Press to be pre-briefed. More importantly what is our general attitude to criminal convictions. After some debate it was agreed that there were three class of convictions that we considered merited removal from the register and that these were: (i) conviction of an offence in connection with the practice of architecture resulting in death - indefinite removal. (ii) convictions of an offence in connection with the practice of architecture with no death involved, e.g. corruption or tax frauds. (iii) Convictions of an offence not connected with the practice of architecture, removal from register for period of prison term. Where no prison term set, but fine instead, then no removal. It was provisionally agreed as follows. Gentlemen's agreement. BAE - David Burney, Brian Anson. GPC - 6 others to be decided. Discipline - Mick Broad Also D.R. to be nominated for Chairman of Council and J.S.A. as vice Chairman. Future Strategy: D.R. 20.2.80. It was agreed that new initiatives would evolve during the year and must be more NAM based. As 1981 was ARCUK's 50th anniversary a working group is to be formed to prepare "our" version of ARCUK's history and purpose and which could be used to launch a programme for ARCUK's reform and re-constitution. The group will start meeting at the end of March when the Code work is mainly out of the way. J.S.A. to approach Malcolm McEwan and D.R. to prepare list draft agenda and to anchor. J.S.A. christened group "Quinquagenary Quango" or QQQ for short.

SERVICES We would like to thank you for Tuesday's very useful meeting to discuss the abandonment of architects' mandatory fee scale and I would like to summarize our position as follows The Mandatory Minimum Fee having been abandoned, architects should be free to compete in terms of fee as well as quality of service The removal of the Fee Scale's mandatory status can be speedily and simply achieved by requiring ARCUK to amend its rules (as scheduled in Way Ahead). This would enable all architects who wish to depart from the Monopiy to do so Any new recommended fee systems should be based on ranges of architects' own costs instead of the discredited 'ad valorem! method It may be considered simplest for the Government (DoE) to prepare the primary recommended fee scale for its own use in assessing value for money in public sector commissions thus avoiding the additional administration and expense of a new agency Recommended fee scales may be prepared by other bodies both within and outside the profession provided the following conditions are observed a) Copies are deposited with Minister for Consumer Affairs ° b) ‘The non-mandatory status is clearly printed on all documents in which reference to the fee scale is made The Government should conduct periodic reviews (the first within 3 years) to ensure that a de facto monoyiy is not being established through RIBA dominance . It may be appropiate to consider providing the OFT with these review powersein the proposed Competition Bill. The apparently enhanced competative conditions arising from architectural design competitions must be set against the disadvantages of considerable abortive work and time and reduced client influence in the development of the brief and we feel that design competitions would thus continue to be of benefit in only limited circumstances A (pit(4 DAVID ROEBUCK On Behalf Of JOHN ALLAN ROBERT MALTZ JOHN MURRAY Yours sincerely Our proposals now combine the benefits of competition in both quality and fee in suggesting that architects in competing for a commission should include a fee quotation alongside full information as to their experience, resources and capabilities. Quotations should be explicit as to architects costs and could be presented in the format drafted in Appendix I of our report. (vidi) Fee quotation and then negotiation would probably be the most effective method given the obvious disadvantages of straight ES tendering. As agreed, a straight tendering system apart from being vulnerable to the dangers of "ringing" would reduce the client's opportunity to take into account considerations of quality when assessing commissions in terms of value for money. Conversely negotiation alone with a selected architect does not meet the criteria of increased competition (ix) We consider it most unlikely that architects would be tempted to work uneconomically for the temporary advantage of obtaining commissions but we would expect that the enhanced climate for competition would encourage a considerably greater diversity of services available to the consumer With regard to your question as to the possible RIBA response to the adoption of these proposals we consider this less likely to be a bang than a whimper. We should be glad to assist in any costing exercise that the Government may initiate and trust that in the event of any further discussions on this or related matters with your department, the OFT or the DoE we hope that the 'Unattached' representing nearly 20% of the profession continue to be consulted.

The concern to focus on socially necessary buildings and to find new and meaningful ways of engaging with building users and the wider community- both central NAM themes - illuminated much of the discussion.

Vrhereas, in some i.tezber States, the taking up end pursüit• of the activitieg of architect are by law conditional upon the possession of a diploma in architecture; whereas, in certain other States where this condition does not exist, the right to hold the title of architect is nonetheless governed by law; whereas, fin:21y, in some Member States where neither the fomer nor the latter is the case laws and resalations are on the taking up Qr-id pu.rs•zt of these activities under the professional title of architect; whereas, therefore, the conditions under which such aet-uvities be teken up pursued in those States have not yet been. 22id down; whereas the cutuel recognition of diplomas, certificate and other evidence of fo:eal qualifications presupposes that such diplomas, certificates..ænd other evidence of formal authorize the taking up pursuit' o: certain activities in the .:cezber State of issue; whereas, therefore the recotnition of certain cer$.%cetes u—.äer this Directive should on iv contir.ue to apply i r,sofar as the holders cf such certificates be author: zed, in zccoräance with. 2 e -a 2 orovisions still to be =opted the .%ezber State of issue, to take up activities u:-.der the % tie of arcztect; Vlhereas acquisition of the lawful professional title of architect is subject in some Member States to completion of a period of practical experience in addition to the possession of a diploma, certificate or other evidence of formal qualifications; whereas, since practice in this respect at present varies from one Member State to another, to obviate possible difficulties completion of an equal period of appropriate practical experience in another Member State should be recognized as meeting this condition; Whereas the reference in Article 1 (2) to "activities in the field of architecture" as being "those activities usually pursued under the professional title of archite c t" the justification for which lies in the conditior.s prevailing in certain Member States, is intended solely to indicate the scope of the Directive, without claiming to give a legal definition of activities in the field of architecture; Whereas in most of the Member States activities in the field of architecture are pursued, in law or in fact, by persons who hold the title of architect, whether alone or together with another title, without those persons having a monopoly in pursuing those activities, save where there are laws to the contrary; whereas the aforementioned activities, or some of them, may also be pursued by members of other professions, in particular by engineers who have received special training in construction engineering or building; Whereas the mutual recognition of qualifications will facilitate the taking up and pursuit of the activities in question; Whereas in some Member States there is legislation allowing the lawful professional title of architect, by way of exception and notwithstanding the usual educational and training requirements e ry / DJM/emb for access to the title, to be granted to certain distinguished persons in the field, who are . very few in number and whose work shows exceptional architectural talent; whereas the case of these architects, who are very few in number, should be covered' in this Directive, particularly since they frequently enjoy an international reputation; the recognition of a number of the existing diplomas listed in Articles 10 to 12 is intended to enable the holders thereof to establish themselves or provide services in other Member States with immediate effect; whereas the sudden introduction of this provision in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg could, in view of the country's small size, lead to distortion of competition and disturb the organization of the profession; whereas as a result of this there appears to be justification for allowing this Member State an additional period of adjustment; Whereas, since a Directive on the mutual recognition of diplomas does not necessarily imply practical equivalence in the education and training covered by such diplomas, the use of titles should be authorized -only in the language of the Member State of origin or of the Member State from which a foreign national comes; - 6 . Whereas the national provisions with regard to good repute and good character may be applied as standards for the taking up of activities if establishment takes place; whereas, moreover, in the circurnstances a distinction should be drawn between cases in which the persons coQcerned •have never. yet exercised any activities in the field of architecture (Article 17) and those in which they have already exercised such activities in another Member State (Article 18) ; Whereas, in the case of the provision of services, the requirement of registration with or membership of professional organizations or bodies would, since it is related to the fixed and permanent nature of the activity pursued in the host country, undoubtedly constitute an obstacle to the provider of services by reason of the temporary nature of his activity; whereas this requirement shoul therefore be abolished; whereas, however, in this event control over professional discipline, which is the responsibility of these professional organizations or bodies, should be guaranteed; whereas, to this end, it should be provided, subject to the application of Article 62 of the Treaty, that the person concerned may be required to notify the provision of services to the competent authority of the host Member State; 62.42/85 e ry / DJ rc (Allis'EX Ahereas, as far as the activities of employed persons in the field of architecture are concerned, Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workers wi thin the Community ( e ) lays down no specific provisions relating to good character or good repute, professional discipline or use of title for the• professions covered; whereas, depending on the individual Member State, such rules are or may be applicable both to employed and to self—employed persons; whereas activities in the field of architecture are subject in several Member States to possession of a diploma, certificate or other evidence of formal qualifications; whereas such activities are pursued by both employed and self—employed persons, or by the same persons in both capacities in the course of their professional career; whereas, in order to encourage as far as possible the free movement of members of the profession within the Community, it therefore appears necessary to extend this Directive to employed persons in the field of architecture; Whereas this Directive introduces mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications giving access to professional activities, without concomitant co—ordination of national provisions relating to education and training; whereas moreover the number of members of the profession who are concerned varies considerably from one Member State to another; whereas the first few years of application of this Directive must therefore be followed particularly attentively by the Commission, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: CHAPTER 1: SCOPE Article 1 1 . This Di.rective shall apply to activities in the field of architecture. 2. For the purposes of this Directive, activities in the field of architecture shall be those activities usually pursued under the professional title of architect.

On the basis of the experience gained and bearing in mind developments in archi tectural training, the Commission shall, 8 years after the end of the period specified in the first subparagraph of Article 31 (1) , submit a report to the Council on the application of this derogation and the appropriate proposals on which the Council shall decide by a qualified majority. 62<2/85 ery/DJM/df - 12 2 . Recognition under Article 2 shall also be accorded to education and training which, as part of a social betterment scheme or a part—time university course, conforms to the requirements of Article 3 and leads to an examination in architecture successfully completed by persons who have been employed in architecture for not less than 7 years under the supervision of an architect or firm of architects. This examination must be of degree standard and be equivalent to the final examination referred to in paragraph 1 (b) . Article 5 1 . Nationals of a Member State authorized to hold the professional title of architect pursuant to a -e aw giving the competent authority of a Member State this possibility for nationals of Member States who have particularly distinguished themselves by their achievements in the field of architecture shall be considered as meeting the requirements laid down for the pursuit of architectural activities under the professional title of architect. 2.
