Association of Building Technicians: education of architects, 1952
Scope and Contents
Correspondence with students, requesting representation by the Association of Building Technicians (ABT), concerning the change to rules for the membership of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

This file also contains some papers concerning evidence to be presented to RIBA by the ABT Executive Committee, concerning a policy for architectural education.
There are also some personal notes concerning an accommodation problem.

Biographical / Historical
In the early 1950s registration and associateship of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) was obtained through completing an examination in professional practice. In July 1952 notice was given that new regulations would come into effect in November 1952 making practical experience an additional criteria. A number of students were subsequently told that the exams they had completed in March 1952 only made them eligible for registration, despite pre-dating the change in regulations, and appealed to the Association of Building Technicians (ABT) for arbitration.
