Cabe-style design reviews could be carried out on new buildings to rate how well-protected they would be against a terrorist attack.

The move is one of a range of measures on the table after a review of protective security was drawn up by Home Office minister Lord West.

The report will not be released to the public as it could compromise homeland security.

If strategic guidance is not followed, then provision for security measures could be made a part of a design review to ensure buildings are 鈥渢errorist-proof鈥�.

RIBA chief executive Richard Hastilow said: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 that is excluded, but I can鈥檛 answer for the government. At the moment the emphasis is on guidance, but you can鈥檛 rule anything out.鈥�

The RIBA played a key role in advising the government how to train architects to protect buildings from the design stage onwards.

A series of initiatives has been launched as a result. The most radical of these is a series of three-hour multimedia simulations of terrorist attacks, which architects will be invited to attend from January.

Run by RIBA and the police, the workshops 鈥� known as Project Argus 鈥� will examine how crowds react to terrorist attacks, and will 鈥渟timulate creative thinking鈥� according to Hastilow.

He said: 鈥淲e want to engage architects, planners and engineers. These multidisciplinary workshops will make them aware of the importance of these issues so that we can design out terrorism much as we aim to design out crime.鈥�

But Cabe said designing counter-terrorism measures into buildings must not result in a 鈥渇ortress aesthetic鈥�.

Adrian Harvey, Cabe head of public affairs, said: 鈥淭he Ministry of Defence was retrofitted to withstand a plane crashing into it and does so invisibly. But the security measures at the US embassy have turned Grosvenor Square into an impassable concrete block. Planners and architects should rise to the creative challenge of factoring security into the design process.鈥�
