The Architects Registration Board<\/a> (ARB) has published new\u00a0guidelines\u00a0for all architects on fire and life safety design and sustainability<\/h2>\n

In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy<\/a>, Dame Judith Hackitt\u2019s Review \u2018Building a Safer Future\u2019 recommended that ARB should address fire safety in design as part of the competence levels required of architects.<\/p>\n

All registered architects must do everything they can to secure the health and safety of the people who use buildings.<\/p>\n

ARB\u2019s new guidelines<\/a> also promote the need for architects to understand their role within a design team, and for them to know how to manage risk on a building project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ARB has also developed guidelines for all registered architects to ensure they are fully competent in all aspects of sustainability that apply to buildings and all areas of architecture.<\/p>\n

Architects themselves support the need for these competencies; in a survey ARB commissioned in autumn 2020, architects reported that safety and sustainability were the two most common issues that had become more important to their job in the last five years.<\/p>\n

Calling on architects to be proactive<\/h3>\n

Alan Kershaw, chair of the ARB, said: \u201cAll professionals, however experienced, can learn and improve throughout their careers. We are calling on architects to be proactive, study these new guidelines and reflect on how to develop their practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public need to be assured that these issues are being addressed. I encourage anyone engaging an architectural professional, no matter what the size or scale of the project, to ensure they are registered with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alan Jones, RIBA President, added: \u201cConsidering the scale of the climate emergency<\/a> and building safety emergency, we must sharpen our focus to ensure that current and future architects are able to address the most significant challenges facing our profession, society and planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe enthusiastically endorse the ARB\u2019s new requirements for registered architects, which complement the RIBA\u2019s\u00a0current work\u00a0to strengthen the\u00a0core,\u00a0critical knowledge of our own membership.\u201d<\/p>\n
