Today is the first day of the month and I find it very interesting to read on AJ that there are at least 300 'architects' in Ireland are not officially registered. This is something to worry about I guess? Surely if there are buildings designed and build by these such called practices in the UK there must be thousands worldwide who might not necessarily have the training or skill to properly design a building. At the end of the day a badly designed building can fall down and kill people. Not good.
Ravensbourne now has an Architecture and IDEAs student society, the name is Institute of Ideas, or OIO for short. The aim is to create a lecture series that will then in turn bring well known designers, architects and engineers to do talks in Ravensbourne to help us students to gain a larger network and to meet a variety of people from many different backgrounds.
We want to raise money, raise the knowledge of Ravensbourne and creatt a hub for design. A place of excitement to be useful for all students.
Our first lecture will be on the 24th February with the director of the Director of London's Crossrail scheme. This should be very interestng!
We had our first group meeting for the student society yesterday with what I feel is such a strong team with some amazing ideas. I look forward to working with every one who has joined my team.
