The document outlines standards of professional conduct for architects according to the Architects Act of 1972 and the Architects (Professional Conduct) Regulation of 1989. It details 25 requirements that architects must follow, including providing high quality services, informing clients of fees, not taking unfair commissions, maintaining integrity and impartiality, and not advertising except in limited circumstances. It also states that partners in an architectural firm are responsible for ensuring the firm complies with these standards, and violation can constitute professional misconduct.
Architects Professional Liability
Whether a small architecture enterprise or a multinational million dollar conglomerate, the work of architects and engineers is constantly under the spotlight. No matter how careful and exact an architect or engineer is, their work is constantly scrutinized by clients, leaving the chance of facing a lawsuit alleging negligence or failure to render professional services. Working in an industry that continues to feel the negative effects of the economy, architects and engineers cannot afford to take this risk - and that is where we can help.

Role of Project Architect in Arbitration
Project architect has a dual role
As per clause 55 of IIA, he acts as a “Quasi-Arbitrator” to give his decision on “excepted matters” between the client and the contractor where his decision is final and binding.
He is required to supply whatever information( copies of correspondence, drawings, site supervision memos etc.) the Arbitrators require in connection with any reference
The Arbitration & Conciliation Act 1996
Arbitration Act 1940 has become outdated.
General Assembly of the UNO recommends that UNCITRAL adopted in 1985 be the basis of new law to bring about uniformity of law of arbitral procedures and the specific needs of the international commercial arbitration practice
Though UNCITRAL deals with international disputes, with certain modification they could serve domestic arbitration and conciliation.
New act seeks to consolidate and amend the laws relating to domestic arbitration, international commercial arbitration, enforce foreign arbitral award and define laws relating to conciliation
Lessons for Architects from Arbitration cases
One of the main reasons why disputes arise between owners and contractor as far as construction projects are concerned is that quite a few architects do not perform their roles as Project Architect and Quasi-Arbitrators early on in the project.
Some of the steps that he can do to prevent such disputes are
Production drawings.- Complete and freeze design and drawings prior to tender.
Notification formalities- Issue all notifications on time
Certification of bill- Approve/certify all bills on time and ensure payments
Time as “Essence of Contract”.- Avoid Holds that can lead to extension of time.
Final Accord and satisfaction-Ensure full and final payment is done.
Minutes of site meetings- Weekly meeting and minutes recorded and approved by all
Consultant fees: Payment for sub consultants is one on time
Predesign Investigation: Owner required to furnish information about site
Accepting assignments: Proper documentation and fee structure as recommended by COA
Premature termination of Architects services: Owner right on full payment of fees upto that stage.

This is a slide presentation of what an architect does, what are his roles in different stages of the construction industry and the types of drawings they produced.
The Institute of Town Planners, India, owes its origin to a small group of Town Planners of Delhi, who in 1947 decided to set up a professional Town Planning Institute on the lines similar to the Royal Town Planning Institute, London. The number of planners, which then did not exceed six, was too small for a registered society to be set up and therefore, the small group formed itself into an Indian Board of Town Planners and started working towards establishing a professional Institute.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
