Last chance to apply for 2008 Byera Travelling Scholarships
NSW Architects, graduates and students of architecture are invited to apply for the 2008 Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarships (BHTS).

This year $65,000 is available across the following categories: up to $41.000 in the architect’s category, $8,000 in the graduate category and four scholarships of $4,000 in the students’ category. Applications for 2008 Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarships close 31 August 2008. For more information see www.architects.nsw.gov.au or contact Mae Cruz at the NSW Architects Registration Board, 02 9241 4033.
Reminder to Architects and Architect Corporations and Firms
Many architects and architect corporations and firms are still not including their registration number, or in the case of a corporation or firm, the name and registration number of the nominated architect on business correspondence and advertising. This omission constitutes a breach of an architect’s obligations under the NSW Architects Code of Professional Conduct. Looking positively at this obligation, including the architect registration number is an accurate and easy method of informing clients, potential clients and the public of your registration status as an architect.
Recognising the value of peer learning through Architects’ Learning Groups
The aim of Architects’ Learning Groups is to provide opportunities for architects to undertake formal CPE/D activities within their own peer professional networks. For more information click here.
