Not sure lowering the standards for architecture is a wise move.
By the sounds of it coming from abroad means you can be a lower standard as you don’t have to sit the Part exams/interviews/assessments that UK trained architects have to pass in order to be qualified.
The article also mentioned the high failure rate as a barrier – surely we want architects coming from abroad who can perform at the same standard as those who qualify here.
Not agreed just yet. Bit more detail here. Remember we lost mutual recognition with the EU – which was a big loss
In the studios I worked in – having architects from France, Germany and Italy was always a bonus.
