Institute vows to support architects through the recession by fixing fees for 2010
The RIBA has announced that it will freeze its membership rates for 2010, as part a drive to support architects through the recession.
Chartered members who have been qualified for over five years will pay 拢370 and those who take out membership within five years of qualifying will pay 拢241.
Annual subscription for a UK member of the RIBA made within one year of completing Part 2 of their architectural qualification will still cost 拢56 to individuals based in the UK and 拢44 to those based abroad.
The rate freeze follows the launch of a Recession Survival Kit, an online resource with advice tailored specifically for each membership category and a monthly Future Trends Survey that tracks employment trends.
Ruth Reed, president of the RIBA, said: 鈥淭here is no doubt that the architects鈥� profession has been severely affected by the economic downturn, and this is something that the institute fully understands; the RIBA is firmly committed to supporting the profession through this difficult time.鈥�
