School of Planning and Architecture University of the West of England, Bristol:

  • Thank you for your lively talk last Wednesday.
  • The students have given very positive feedback about the afternoon session, so, too, our guest from RIBA.
  • On Friday, we had a Visiting Board from the RIBA, who will be recommending Candidate Status for Part 3.
  • This is good news, and moves us one step closer to a fully accredited course!
