North Carolina Board of Architecture 10YEARS OF HISTORY 0 02 NCBA100 100 Years Architecture has reflected the culture, societal values and local needs of North Carolina for hundreds of years. These years have been marked by both trends and timelessness; vision and renovation. The North Carolina Board of Architecture has regulated this profession with the necessary diligence our citizens deserve. The 100th anniversary of the Board serves as a reminder that the safety and well-being of our citizens has been buttressed by the hard work and dedication of the men and women who have served and continue to serve on this prestigious body. The rules and regulations adopted by Board members have been Governor shaped by a great depth of study and discussion, and I am confident the next 100 years Pat McCrory will build on this admirable legacy. North Carolina is the most beautiful state in the nation, not only for its natural wonders but its man-made buildings and structures as well. Over the years, the state has amassed a trove of architecturally significant buildings. From the “original Empire State Building” in Winston-Salem to the mixed-use Cameron Village in Raleigh, North Carolina’s history reflects changing tastes and evolving needs. All the while, the Board has been there to properly regulate and preserve the high standards of architects for the citizens of our state. Congratulations on your 100th Anniversary. Sincerely, Pat McCrory Governor Dear North Carolina Board of Architecture Members, This year, the North Carolina Board of Architecture celebrates a major milestone in its 100 year anniversary. As a registered architect, I would like to thank the NCBA leaders and members, past and present, that have contributed to the organization’s many suc- cesses. During the last 100 years, the NCBA has maintained licensing standards and regulations to meet the evolving needs of the architecture business. By requiring individuals to meet appropriate education, experience, examination and reciprocity standards, the NCBA has Lt. Governor shaped the practice of architecture into the profession that it is today. Dan Forest, AIA Thank you for your leadership in the architecture profession and congratulations to the NCBA on its 100th anniversary - may the organization experience 100 more successful years. Sincerely, Daniel J. Forest, AIA Lieutenant Governor 03 NCBA100 04 NCBA100 100 Years Esse quam videri: “To be, rather than to seem”. Perhaps North Carolina’s motto was on the minds of the architects that encouraged the legislature a century ago to pass a bill to regulate the practice of architecture in North Carolina. Regulation of such professions was a fairly new concept in the early 20th century. The growth in population and the rapid change in building technology of that time warranted the need for competent architects and as this need became increasingly apparent to members of the profession and the public, they accepted the challenge to author these first regulations. Our State was already on the forefront of public protection through establishing regulations and the formation of occupational licensing boards. The first Nursing Board of Registration in the U.S. was enacted in North Carolina in 1903. Several others soon followed and in 1915, the North Carolina Board of Architecture was formed and became the seventh architecture board created in the nation. By early 2015, as the Board approached its 100th anniversary, approximately 13,100 individual licenses had been issued to professionals wishing to practice in this State. A majority of those licenses were issued on the basis of education, experience and examination while others were issued on the basis of reciprocity. The standards for each – education, experience, examination and reciprocity – have necessarily evolved through the years, as has the profession. As we look to the next 100 years, we would like to recognize and honor the past. This North Carolina Board of Architecture history provides a brief overview of the development of the rules and laws that define and govern the practice today. Chris E.
