What does RIBA Isle of Wight do?
Aa a RIBA branch, RIBA IOW acts as a local hub for architects - providing a platform for professional development, networking, and advocacy - while also contributing to the promotion of architectural excellence and community engagement.
The activities and functions of the RIBA branch include:
- community building: organising events, lectures, and social gatherings to facilitate networking among local architects and professionals in the built environment.
- students and emerging professionals: collaborating with their local schools of architecture, facilitating connections between students, young architects, and established professionals.
- sharing: creating platforms for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge within the local architectural community.
- local architecture: educating the public about the value of good design and architecture in the community.
- and representation: representing the interests of local architects and the architectural profession to local authorities, government bodies, and other relevant stakeholders.
RIBA Branch and Chapter elections are held bi-annually during January, February and March. Find out more.
