ACAN Professional Standards Group
This thematic group is interested in the professional culture of architecture and particularly the tone set by codes and regulations. We are campaigning to recalibrate standards set by the professional bodies in light of the climate and biodiversity crisis, to ensure they become fit-for-purpose in a fast changing world and are consistently upheld.
We are also interested to raise public expectation of built environment professionals in relation to the climate emergency. Professional standards are a key way that the public can call us into account and through which we are made accountable to each other.
Monthly meetings are due to restart in September, generally lunchtime on the last Wednesday of the month (to be confirmed).
