I remain extremely unhappy about this whole episode and am currently dlScussing with my colleagues what further action It might be appropriate to pursue.

R.C.U.K. By this I Intended that the disturbances described raised questions of a higher order than merely tactical constituency advantage, and that it should be to those questions which those• concerned with A.R.C.U.K's Integrity should direct their attention. From this It should be clear that while Improper attempts to overturn democratically determined A.R.C.U.K. policies may well provide cause for complaint, a particular contituency t s choice of nominees Is beyond the remit of another constituency to challenge, however distasteful It may find the reasons for that choice. Specifically the question as to who shall serve as Chairman of A.R.C.U.K. and BAE is actually .decid.ed by election at the annual meetings of these bodies, and cannot be regarded as violated merely because a familiar unofficial precedent is set aside.

John Allen Avanti Architects Ltd. 39/41 North Road LONDON N7 9DP 24 June 1988 Dear John Enclosed are notes from the last Unattached meeting prior to the ARCUK Council meeting and our meeting with the Registrar — dust to keep you up—to—date with what was discussed. Maybe we can start circulating minutes regularly if people think it's useful. I've also enclosed an extra copy of Torn Markus' draft policy document. If you have any comments, you can telephone Tom (horne tel. 041-339 2829) or Alistair (work tel. 031-668 2635) before the end of June — although please remember that this Is not intended as a final joint statement, and individuals are of course at liberty to change the wording and emphasis as they think fit in their 'letter to the local electorate'. Hope the enclosures are of Interest! Sheelagh McManus cont.../ UNATTACHED MEETING WITH REGISTRAR: 14 June 1988 PRESENT : K .Forder ; N.Arn01d, A.B1am1re, A.Ear1, M,Jenks, M.Ke11y, T ,Markus, S ,McManus, D.Petherick, D.Roberts, C.Shaw; ITEMS DISCUSSED: . Contacting the Electorate: The possibility of organising a mallout to all the Unattached was discussed. A full address list (straightforward computer printout) of the Unattached can be bought from ARCUK for E30 — can be organlsed on a regional basis or grouped In accordance with year of registration — or ARCUK can supply printed address labels at 2 pence each. Postage is the most expensive part. It would cost E 1257 to commission ARCUK to carry out a nationwide mailing to all Unattached (6700 architects) or E533.50 to mall all the Unattached In the London area only (1890 architects) proportionally better value for money!. Both include a E250 handling charge. Micheal Baird (ARCUK Admissions secretary) said he would check whether it was permissable under the Data Protection Act to supply the address list on disk. . Research Into the make—up of the Electorate: Various methods of surveying the Electorate to establish who they are and what their views are were discussed. It was felt that this might link In with the previously mooted possibility of applying for an ARCUK Research award to document the history and development of the Unattached. The registrar confirmed that there was no regulation to prevent a currently serving council member applying for such an award. The deadline for this years applications is the end of July. 3. Definition of 'Maintaining a Register' The need for ARCUK to compile statistics about registered architects was discussed (In relation to the previous Item). The registrar did not think that this was necessarily ARCUKs job. The 1931 Act simply requires that ARCUK "shall maintain a register of Architects". However, he also quoted Halls Laws of England which states that a Statutory Body is entitled to do anything which It considers "relevent" to its alms. Information relating to architects other than their name, address and date of Registration cannot be held on disk at present because this would mean that ARCUK would have e to register under the Data Protection Act. (At present ARCUK Is exempt). cont.../ / 4. Gentlemans Agreement As far as anyone knew the sub—committee which was supposed to have been set up to review the Gent lemans Agreement had not yet met. There was some doubt as to whether It had even been constituted. Any changes must be notified by October If they are to affect next years elections. It was generally considered that it would be unconstitutional to abolish the agreement completely since It is the only means at present of complying with Regulation . Statistics for membership of Constituent Bodies At our request, the Registrar provided current statistics on the no.s Isited for each of the constituent bodies and the Unattached (see attached sheet). It was confirmed that 'double-counting' does take place i.e. architects who are members of more than one Constituent Body count towards the number of seats that both those Bodies have on Council. (Therefore the total no.s listed for all the Constituent Bodies plus the Unattached do not add up to the total no of Registered Architects!) . Misuse of the letter 'A' Several individual cases have teen brought to the Regis trans attention recently where acronyms containing the letter 'A' meaning 'Architect' or 'Architects' are being used for business purposes by persons not on the register In fact in some cases by individuals who have been removed from the register for disgraceful conduct. The most .commonly occurring misuse involves members of the R IBA. (see attached copy of correspondence between the Registrar and RIBA). It would appear that there might be anything up to 1000 RIBA members practislng as architects who are not on the register. ARCUK is therefore intending to carry out a 'line by line' check of all RIBA members to single out offending Individuals, starting end of June, to be finished In time for the October count. � Meeting of the Unattached held 14 June 1988 (subsequent to meeting the Registrar) PRESENT: N.Arnold, A.B1amire, A.Ear1, M.Jenks, M.Ke11y, T .Markus, S.McManus, D.Petherick, D.Roberts, C Shaw; IT WAS AGREED ACTION BY: 1 . To investigate the feasibility of setting up a Company Limited by Guarantee to service the needs of the Unattached, with the elected Unattached Representatives on Council as the Board of Directors. Possible benfits might be: Free mallshot; Grant support; etc. D .ROBERTS 2. To check out the Intricacies of the Data Protection Act — Its implications for ARCUK and the Unattached. (Liaise with Micheal Baird on ARCUK staff). C.SHAW To look at the possibilities of the Unattached maintaining a current database of names and addresses. C.SHAW 3 . •That we should plan for maxirnurn publicity around the time of Unattached nominations and elections. A draft Joint policy document for the Unattached was tabled by T.Markus. (Copy enclosed for those not present at the meeting). Everyone present was generally in agreement with the maln points. The idea of holding an open meeting of the Unattached in Hull in November to debate this policy was proposed. It was agreed to first conduct a publicity campaign by letter and in the press to sound out support for such a meeting. It was agreed to purchase an address list from ARCUK organised by regions (donations of E3 each were pooled) and then divide it roughly equally amongst us. Each representative will be responsible for contacting a / IT WAS ALSO AGREED 4. To make an application for a research award to document the history of the Unattached and survey their current views.

I am rather concerned about the law In thig matter. A pergon not an architect In th1B country unlegg h1B name appears on the Register. The RIBA 1B an aggoclatlon of architects (not architecte and otherg ) . There are Indlcatlong that there may be other pergong in RIBA membership who fall In thig sort of category and we shall have to take Btepg to ensure they are not included in congtltuent body countg. I am told that another possible gource of discrepancy the categoriBation of people working overseas. The law requireg that the Regigter conglBtB of a 11Bt of buglneBB addreggeg and that only those businegg addresseg within the United Kingdom may be used eor congtltuent body counts . learn that there 1B a number of RIBA memberg in regpect of whom you may have recorded home addreggeg within the United Kingdom whereag In fact their buglneBB addreggeg are overgeag. We must ensure that these are excluded. The present plan 1B that we are going to comence In May an operation {'cr a 1 ine by llne examination of the RIBA 11st. It may take Beveral weekB. I thought I would let you know thig now because you will doubtleBB either want to be present yourself or Bend gomeone from your office while the operation 1B going on.

The RIBA elects or reinstates people to membership in accordance with its Charter and Byelaws . There is no requirement that a person s name must be on the Register of Architects or indeed remain on the Register but at the last count in October, there were 5108 members vhose names do not appear on the Register. The only requirement to take account of removal from the Register is if a Council Member or Honorary Officer is struck off in consequence of a criminal offence or professional misconduct. All members are required on election to sign a Declaration that will be governed and bound by the RIBA Charter and Byelaws and clearly any member whose name was not on the Register of Architects and who styled himself Chartered Architect or used the RIBA affix in relation to any trade or business would be acting illegally and would be in breach of Charter clause 4.6 and I can assure you that the RIBA seeks to enforce the Registration Act in this respect. With regard to the constituent body count, as you know every effort is made to keep the records of both ARCUK and the RIBA . in line. RIBA members who are not on the Register of Architects are not included in the RIBA count and account is taken of the address on file but of course it would be completely incorrect to say that our addresses remain in line as we have no statutory requirement to use the business address . However, the number of members involved would hardly be significant. With regard to your line by line examination of the RIBA list, clearly we would like to know how this is going to be carried out as the greatest problem is finding an up to date list. We would also require to know what alteration you are making so that our own records can be amended. I will be on leave from 25th May until 20th June. Would any advantage be served if Chris Lakin and I were to meet you to discuss this .

Wi th good wi shes , Yours sincerel y , (Professor ) Thomas A, Markus ARCIJK 'UNATTACHED ' ARCHITECTS WHO ARE THEY? Duri ng ear l y February the el ecti on of t una t t ached ' Counci l lors for next year ' s Counci l of the Archi tects ' Registration Counci l of the United Kingdom (ARCIJK) wi l l take pl ace. In these el ecti ons a group of candidates present themselves to represent those architects on the Regi ster who do not belong to any of the consti tuent bodi es of ARCIJK. The const i tuent bodi es have the ri ght , under the 1931 Arch itects ' Registration Act , to nominate members to Counci l di rect , on the basis of one member for every 500 (or porti on of 500) of thei r own membership and the most important of these , numerical ly , i s the RIBA wi th 42 members for next year . But al so l i sted are such bodi es as the Arc-hi tectural Assoc at i cn (2 members) E he Facul ty of Architects and Surveyors ( 1 member) , the Incorporated Assoc at i on of Archi tects and Surveyors ( 1 member) and the STAMP section of UCATT. A number of other organi sat ions nomi nate members , but not an a numerical basi s . Archi tects not belonging to any of these consti tuent bodies are the so-cal l ed 'unattached - and thi s year their number has grown to 6610 (the number grows ei ther through newl y-qual ified archi tects not joi ni ng any of these bodies , or through the resi gnation of ol der ones) gi vi ng 14 representati ves on Counci l . Since they represent about one quarter of the professi on , i t i s i mportant that there should be , at l east i n the 'consti tuency ' of the ' unattached ' some understanding of what they stand f or . It i s al so i mportant that these archi tects exerci se thei r ri ght to vote (often onl y about 20% do so) and , if they f ind no candi dates who represent thei r vi ews , that they nominate, i n future years , candi dates who do. The Act al so set up a Board of Archi tectural Education on which , apart from representati ves of the Counci l , an even wi der range of educati onal and other organi zat i ons are represented . These incl ude most of the School s of Archi tecture . Those current or recent ' unattached ' Counci l l ors and candi dates who have si gned thi s statement are only in a l i mi ted sense an organi sed group. But they do share some common ground which i s set out here for informat i on i Wi der debate and to encourage greater parti ci pati on in the el ecti on . ARCUK. IN AND OUT OF THE NEWS Most archi tects , beyond payi ng the necessary annual retenti on fee , have no contact wi th ARCUK, l i ttl e i dea af what it does , and no i nterest i n i ts debates. In recent months there WEIS short l i ved media coverage of a r l.tmpus between the RIRA and ARCIJK on what appeared , to most outsi ders , to be trivi al and l egal i sti c i ssues about the way people had been appointed onto ARCCIK 's Board of Archi tectural Educati on . Once there was news of an ami cable rapprochemen t 1 between the two bodi es , ARCIJK once agai n sank i nto i ts c us tomary obl i vi on ! But that rumpus was the t i p of an i ceberg the submerged port i on of which represents very real di ff erences 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 ARCIJK ' s rol e which , wi thi n the Act , and i ts l ater Amending Act % broadens i ts representativeness , i ncreases i ts democrati c processes and opens to the publ i c i ts debates and i ts reports. they have recogni ged that the processes by which bui l di ngs come to be desi gned whether for the state , l oc al authori ti es or pri vate devel opers as c l i ents exclude the 95% or so of the popul ati on whi ch (beyond perhaps owni ng or buying i ts own house) has no di rect f i nanc i al i nterest i n any bui l di ng project . These people are commonly referred to as ' users whi ch def i nes a r ol e 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 excl uded . Power l ess , and di senfranchi sed , thei r i nterests are SQ i nd i rect l y represented , i f at that they may be better def i ned suf f erers ' of bui l di ngs rather than users . Archi tects can work , be bel i eve , i n ways where thei r professi onal sk i l l s are harnessed to a real transfer of resources. Natural l y educati on i s al so seen by us as a central area of concern part i cul ar l y acceptance of f ul l responsi b i l i t y f ar recogni si ng courses and , i f necessary , hol di ng exami nations as descr i bed i n the Act . The current negoti at i ons wi th the RIBA for joi nt Vi si t i ng Boards are a step i n the di rect i on of assumi ng thi s responsi b i l i ty i nstead Q f del egati ng i t , wi th l i ttl e pol i cy control , to the R IBA . As far as upholding and improving the standards of practi ce are concerned , we E ee i t as i mportant that di sc i pl i nary powers wi th regard to di sgraceful or unprof essi onal conduct should not onl y focus on the personal and professi onnal i ntegr i ty af ar chi tec ts , but al so on the performance af thei r bui l d i ngs . A VIEW OF ARCIJK. ' S ROLE It i s cl ear that Parl i ament i ntended , i n 1931 , to set LIP a mechani sm whereby the statutory control of archi tectural pract i ce and education should be exerc i sed by a group representati ve of more than merel y the prof essi on i t se l f through the involvement of independent and pub l i c i nterests . Al though the l i st of such bodi es l ooks somewhat quaint today , the Parl i ament: of the day tr i ed , accorcii ng to i ts l i ghts , bri ng i n the i nf l uence of other educati onal bodi es , bui l di ng crafstmen (women?) and trade uni ons , the ma jar Government commi ssioning Departments , and other prof essi ons i n the bui l di ng i ndustry i n other words the i nf l uence of those who woul d work with arch i tects , commi ssion them and produce the bui l di ngs they desi gned . Users ! at l east af the pub l i c bui l di ng stock , were al so represented by the machi nery set Ltp n It shoul d be recogni sed that these i ntenti ons have been l argel y f rustrated . However , some object ives concerning ARCIJK 's and the prof essi on ' s i nternal Etructutr e can be el i c i ted from that recogn i t i on . F i r st , that ARCL!K should work. t awards becami ng a ful l y democrati c body , the archi tect Counc i l l ors bei ng el ected from a si ngl e nat i onal l i st of archi tect candi dates . Second , that wi thi n i ts own membership , ARCIJK promote such pol i c i es as wi l l i ncrease communication between archi tects and the Counci l . And thi rd that ARCIJK use every avai l abl e means to create equal opportuni ti es wi thi n the prof essi on , i rrespecti ve of race or gender . There al so fol l ow some objecti ves whi ch rel ate to the posi ti on of architects i n the communi ty. The si gnatori es of th i s Etatement are recent or current ' unattached ' Counci l members , or candi dates .
