The OAA protects the public and governs architects. The Association is dedicated to promoting and increasing the knowledge, skill and proficiency of its members. In Ontario there are 3718 architects and 97 Licensed Technologists OAA (OAA members), 1,470 intern architects (graduates working towards being licensed), and 430 students (enrolled in a school of architecture). In addition, there are 264 honorary or retired members. The OAA licenses architects and certifies practices. Ontario architects are highly trained professionals. You can only call yourself an architect if you are licensed by the OAA. Architectural practices provide architectural services to the public. For an architect to offer any service to the public they must have, or work for, a “Certificate of Practice,” which we call “practices.” There are 1,734 practices in Ontario. The construction, enlargement or alteration of all buildings in Ontario requires an architect unless it says differently in the Architects Act or in the Ontario Building Code.

  • Technology Acceleration Process for the THEMIS Low Cost and Reusable Prototype
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-97 8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Technology acceleration process for the THEMIS low cost and reusable prototype Jerome VILA* and Jeremie HASSIN** *ArianeWorks / CNES [email protected] **ArianeWorks / CNES [email protected] Abstract While Ariane 6 and Vega-C are about to being fielded and entering operations, CNES and Arianegroup are already actively preparing next generation of European launchers. With the PROMETHEUS oxygen/methan engine starting subsystems testing in 2018, and the CALLISTO experimental reusable vehicle about to complete Preliminary Design, engineering work has been initiated for next step on the European roadmap: THEMIS. THEMIS is both a demonstrator and a prototype of a low cost and reusable first stage, meant as the centrepiece of future Ariane architectures. It is intended to feature PROMETHEUS and will build upon technologies and lessons learned from the CALLISTO programme. Several challenges lie ahead for THEMIS, with two highlights: meeting an aggressive cost targets consistent with the 50% launch cost cut sought beyond Ariane 6, and keeping a swift tempo for getting THEMIS ready well before 2025. To address those challenges, a specific initiative was undertaken by CNES and Arianegroup, under codename ArianeWorks: combining both a “Skunkworks like” approach and an open-innovation platform, ArianeWorks is tasked with getting the project done quicker and bolder than through a conventional organization. The paper will discuss the system engineering approach adopted for THEMIS design, by identifying and then allocating technical objectives related to Ariane 6 evolution/Ariane NEXT between CALLISTO and different sized THEMIS options. Then, the early hardware/testing “agile” development process will be detailed, with an aim at speeding up design iterations and technology maturations.
