Changes are gradually coming to the ways that architects can get licensed, reflecting the evolution of a profession that has helped to shape the environment around us.
I think this is unprecedented, said Michael J. Armstrong, CEO of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards which is generating the changes.
The single most significant change would be a new path labeled licensure upon graduation, which would be a structured, streamlined approach to becoming an architect. Another change thats already underway is a redesign of the Intern Development Program, which is a major step in the journey to become an architect.
One starting point for the overhaul of the licensing requirements is a single statistic: The average age at which a person gets licensed or registered as an architect is 34. In addition, only about half of the graduates from architecture schools go on to be licensed, Armstrong said.
For a 17- or 18-year-old college prospect looking at careers in todays economy, spending the next 16 years to become a licensed architect can seem pretty old school compared to what might be achieved over the same period of time in information technology, Armstrong said.

We hear from people who have a lot of career options when they go to school, he said. There are choices out there that didnt exist before.
David Dekker, principal of Studio Southwest Architects in Albuquerque, was licensed at age 26, or about as fast as it could be achieved in the early 1980s. He credits his comparatively fast track to licensure largely to his upbringing.
My dad was an architect. From the time I was 10 years old, I was running blueprints in the office. Later I worked summers in construction and did drafting for my dad, said the Texas Tech College of Architecture graduate. That kind of background allowed me to take the exam and pass it.

Architects put construction upswing in Context
Auckland and Christchurch based Context Architects has made two new appointments and announces two promotions this month. Its a sign of increasing activity in the residential sector, particularly in medium and high-density development, explains Director and practice founder Stephen Voyle. Our retail and commercial clients requirements continue to increase and were also developing new relationships in these spaces.
Architect Madeline Sharpe joins Context from heading up masterplanning for housing developments at Long Bay, Hobsonville and Glenn Innes. Her regulatory and commercial nous will complement the teams work on large, mixed-use projects. On the retail and interiors side of the business Context welcomes Sahabeh Tahmasebi; formerly design manager at a commercial and retail interiors consultancy. Sahabeh will work with Contexts large retail and corporate clients on national projects.
The ten-year-old practice promotes Anton Fenwick and Nick Chan to associate roles, part of its commitment to developing its architects careers. Anton has extensive experience in the medium and high-density residential sector in NZ and the UK, and is currently leading a major residential development in Albany as well as overseeing TV3s The Block NZ. And Nick Chan, as well as being a skilled design and construction manager, explains Stephen Voyle, speaks five languages - a boon for our off-shore clients.
Context is a New Zealand Institute of Architects practice and works nationally and internationally from offices in Auckland and Christchurch.

Aldi pals:Roman Heini, left, and Matthew Barnes
The architects of Aldis success in the UK are being separated.
Joint managing directors Roman Heini and Matthew Barnes have worked hand in glove since 2010 to grow the German discounter into a significant threat to the established grocers.
But in a surprise move Aldi said German born Heini will return to his homeland to become chairman of the advisory board for the entire group.
Barnes will become chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland a new post and the firm will hire two joint UK managing directors.
The changes will take place in March next year and come just after Heini borrowed 1.9million interest-free from his employer in 2012 to buy himself a mansion in the Warwickshire countryside.
The pair send their children to the same schools, their wives socialise together, and the families hang out at weekends.

The Bod concert hall, Norway, will provide a new home for the Arctic Philharmonic. Photographs: David Grandorge
Its an unusual view to behold from a municipal library. The midday sun hangs just above the horizon, casting a heavenly glow across the water, beneath a sky streaked with pink, orange and blue. A foreground of fishing huts and boats armed with whaling harpoons completes the picture, which could come straight from a Visit Norway tourist brochure.
But this is an unlikely project: a new 110m library and concert hall in the Arctic town of Bod (population 50,000), designed by a small London practice whose most substantial built work prior to winning the contract was an office extension in Sheffield.
It was quite a leap in scale, for us and the town, says David Howarth, director of DRDH architects, which won the project in a competition in 2009. It was a stark contrast to be working on this in the UK, just as libraries were being closed by the dozen and procurement processes make it impossible for small practices to win work of this size.
Described by the towns mayor as the largest municipal project ever, and the symbol of Bod entering a new era, the scheme is part of a wider attempt to lure people north and rebalance Norways bottom-heavy cultural offering. When the civil aviation authority was recently moved to Bod as part of the national decentralisation programme, 40% of its employees quit.
We wanted to give people a reason to stay, rather than just passing through on the way to the popular Lofoten Islands, says former mayor Odd-Tore Fygle, who began planning the Kulturhus project back in 1999.
But not all the towns residents were so keen. DRDHs stark white concrete design was variously lambasted as looking like a margarine factory, a fish oil plant and something lifted from the eastern bloc. The Germans did a lot of damage to our city in the war, wrote one furious local. And now youve come to finish the job.
But in the event, 20% of the towns entire population turned up to the opening of the complex, aptly christened Stormen (Norwegian for storm). And now theyve had a chance to look inside, most people couldnt be happier with the finished building.

The new suites will have a contemporary, Victorian-inspired interior with a casual, relaxed feel throughout, complete with touches of Jekyll Island Club nostalgia and location-inspired colors and finishes.
The original Jekyll Island Club was established in the late 1800s and was a favorite among Americas wealthiest families. Today, the property is considered a landmark that boasts nearly 160 rooms and suites. This new project will add more than 60 suites.
DAS Architects was also responsible for the Jekyll Island Club, where they designed the lobby bar, dining room, and adjoining public spaces.
Its an exciting time for the Jekyll Island Club. The resort is ready to open a new chapter as the islands premier family-friendly destination, says Susan Davidson, partner of DAS Architects. We are excited to embark on this interesting and creative architectural project and are especially looking forward to DAS Architects and our sister company, Studio DAS, working hand in hand on this compelling and collaborative endeavor.
