Following in the footsteps of the great ‘paper architects’ of architectural history, RIBA North East practices are invited to share their ‘Unbuilt North East’. Share your favourite schemes that never got built, your thesis scheme from the pre-computer era or a competition entry that you still dream about.

There are two key points of criteria that must be adhered to: the proposal has to be sited in the North East of England and it can’t be for a scheme that was designed and then built by separate practices.

We are looking for up to 10 RIBA Chartered Practices to deliver presentations in the entertaining Pecha Kucha format, 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide and can include from 1no. to 20no.

Looking to consolidate your skills and knowledge in the new Principal Designer role? Need some training to give you the confidence in your skills?

Since the Health and Safety Executive’s CDM 2015 Regulations came into effect in 2015, the RIBA has been offering a range of half, one and two day courses on the Principal Designer role. These are the only Principal Designer Courses offered by the RIBA.

RIBA’s accredited Principal Designer course define and provide adequate ‘skills, knowledge, experience’ to a professionally agreed standard. To show awareness and capability to deliver this role there is an industry expectation for professionals to demonstrate attendance and knowledge attained. Following completion, an attendance certificate will be issued showing that you attended the RIBA-accredited courses. This certificate could be useful should a client, stakeholder or external body require evidence that you have the industry standard skills, knowledge and understanding of the principal designer role.

Core Curriculum: 1. Being safe 2. Compliance 

Courses in the RIBA Principal Designer Series will provide you with knowledge and guidance to enhance your existing skills, knowledge and understanding as ‘designers’, enabling you to assume the Principal Designer role on ongoing projects.

The application of CDM is more of an art than a box ticking exercise for compliance. CDM 2015 goes further than previous versions in expecting the construction industry specialists to know their ‘business’.

It takes great skill, knowledge and experience to weave health and safety compliance through the construction design process. The art is to complete it without a specific reference to anything as staccato as legislation and regulation, as often as possible.

Through the use of a case study, this seminar will explore the various duty holder roles and responsibilities, and will explain how, in the pre-construction phase of a project, the Principal Designer is expected to take control of planning, managing and monitoring of health and safety. This seminar will address what must be done, what should be done, and what that might look like in practice, so far as reasonably practicable.

This seminar will explore listed building consent requirements, procedures in achieving them, through the use of RIBA Plan of Work 2013. Since carrying out work to a listed building without consent is technically a criminal offence, it is important to have a good understanding of what does and what does not require consent.

The seminar will include a workshop on how to use Heritage Gateway to identify heritage assets near your site, and what to do with that information.

The new RIBA contracts have been designed to facilitate the successful completion of projects, resolving recurring issues in older versions or other contracts available in the industry. Complying with consumer protection regulations and clearly written, the RIBA contracts eliminate difficulties that may occur from conception to the completion of a project for all parties involved.

The seminar will provide an insight into contracts, communicating value to clients and diversification in a time of economic change.

In a matter of months, the government has disbanded the Zero Carbon Hub, withdrawn the Code for Sustainable Homes, abandoned the zero carbon target for new homes by 2016, postponed the revisions to Part L and by all accounts, effectively scrapped the 2019 zero carbon target for non-domestic buildings. But one thing has not gone away: Climate Change. If anything, the need to design low impact, resilient buildings is even greater as carbon emissions continue to increase globally.

Rather than dwelling on these gloomy facts, this presentation will illustrate the exciting opportunities in designing new future proofed low impact homes that are also well-designed
