2009 RAIC Annual Report

2009 Annual Report The RAIC quite simply provides the most appropriate vehicle to growing the insight and relevance of the architectural community.

I have had an opportunity to serve on both provincial and federal boards and I understand the fundamental difference between the two. As architects we need a national voice, and this does not come from the collective efforts of the provincial associations. Growing and advancing our profession is something that is most effectively and visibly achieved through a national body.

The RAIC is tireless in being the voice of both Canadian architects, and those aspiring to be part of this profession.

Conrad Boychuk “MRAIC, UIA, AIBC, OAA, MAA A common professional body, such as the RAIC, allows opportunities to develop consistent standards of practice that extend beyond the interests of the individual provinces.

I have found the RAIC invaluable to my practice and often refer to them for assistance. Over the years they have assisted our firm with contract documents and employee recruitment.

Membership to the RAIC is invaluable to any practicing architect in Canada.

I am the 70th president to serve at the helm of our Institute since RAIC was formed now 103 years ago. That is a lot of history to follow and I am happy to look back on the year and see how much has been done. This report gives you all the details – I can only laud the efforts and cheer the accomplishments.

Becoming RAIC President has been the capstone of my long volunteer service and words fall short of expressing my gratitude to the numerous professional colleagues, Board members and the staff of RAIC who have assisted in making it possible and with such success.

As I quoted Gropius in Montreal when I took office it was “a point of fresh departure– not arrival”. And the year so far has been quite a journey.

To start I learned I would stay on for a little longer than expected as President, as the Board decided to change the Terms of Office for Directors to align them with the fiscal year which will allow coordination with the management and operations of the RAIC and avoid summer elections. The result is that I’ll be able to once again update readers in the next year’s Annual Report on the whole of activities for 2010.

2009 Annual Report My goals as I took office included concentrating efforts to advance recent successes in increasing the membership base through chapter development and other initiatives. Our growing membership shows that those efforts are paying off as we report more than 4,200 members – and that last year only 67 chose not to renew. That is a figure unprecedented in the last decade.

I have also been preoccupied with expanding RAIC’s policy of inclusiveness and encouraging more involvement of diversity to students, interns and women. And once again I can point to another of RAIC’s successes, this time in outreach and a close working relationship with the Architecture schools. Over 115 graduates and students have joined us through the year. Yes their memberships are free – but what an effective way to literally grow our future.

The draw to join is the products and programs of the RAIC. The evidence is outlined in this document.

Key is the work that was completed producing the Canadian Handbook of Practice for Architects Second Edition – a totally new CHOP, the original edition of which has become the bible of any architect’s office. Sales are steady and the updates it contains have been well received.

A new and pan-Canadian initiative for the RAIC is the Guide for Determining Appropriate Fees for the Services of an Architect. In 2009 a task force was struck to develop this document; and following its success, a second task force was established to create a plan to guide it into the hands of the owners and managers – the decision makers behind all new buildings. Their work continues and I am confident we will see their efforts pay off and more and more decision makers understanding the benefits of engaging architects at a reasonable and fair fee.

President’s Report Architecture Canada | Royal Architectural Institute of Canada 1 They are both the product of the leadership of RAIC Executive Director Jon Hobbs, FRAIC whose retirement at the end of this June will leave a big void in the organization. His passion for Architecture, commitment to and understanding of the Institute supported by his untiring dedicated service, define his legacy to the Institute and the Profession in Canada. Jon has earned the universal respect and admiration of the membership, Board members, co-workers and all others that he has worked with in Canada and Internationally. The process of recruiting a replacement began in late 2009 and is expected to be concluded by late spring.

The year also saw efforts to rebrand the Institute as Architecture Canada, encompassing all the things RAIC does for its members and the public. As you can see in the design of this report and many of our materials the migration to the new “look” has begun. The fruits of those labours will be rolled out throughout 2010 and I am certain next year Architecture Canada will be part of the profession’s lexicon.

Our continuing efforts on (1) concluding the agreement to set up the RAIC Centre of Architecture at the Athabasca University; (2) the 2030 Challenge; (3) harmonization of continuing education with the provincial associations; (4) Integration of Broadly Experienced Foreign Architects with assistance of Federal Government through Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada; and (5) improving and developing working relationships internationally; are all generally on target.

Enjoy the details of the RAIC’s many programs, committees and task forces and their accomplishments contained herein. It is all part of RAIC | Architecture Canada’s efforts to spread the word that architecture matters... 2009 Annual Report

President’s Report Architecture Canada | Royal Architectural Institute of Canada 2 Executive Director’s Report

As this will be my last Annual Report, I would like to outline some of the accomplishments we have made at the RAIC as well as some of the challenges I believe lie ahead for RAIC and for the profession.

In 1996 I was originally hired by the RAIC to develop a new Canadian Handbook of Practice for Architects as one of my main tasks. It actually took longer to develop a business case and get all of the provincial associations on board for this project than it took to create the Handbook itself. Several years later I was honoured to be able to edit the second edition of this unique and bilingual document that I believe has served the profession well.

In January 2001 I was selected to become RAIC Executive Director and what a journey it has been. I am proud to say that we now have more members than ever before – in 2001 we had just over 2,500 members and now we boast just over 4,200 members. In 2001, we had a slight deficit and now we have reserves which amount to nearly one-half of our annual administrative expenses (a goal for every not-for-profit). The RAIC has also advanced in both technology and office facilities. In 2001 we were able, in part with support from Teknion, to refurnish the very dated office furniture and provide state-of-the-art office furniture systems for every staff member. More importantly for our members we developed, and continue to develop, a web presence including new systems for electronic commerce. In fact, most members now renew online and purchase documents online. 2009 Annual Report

But most important of all, is the development of our human resources and the RAIC staff is indeed a great team. I believe their collective dedication and corporate history will help to weather any changes ahead.

The RAIC (soon-to-be known as Architecture Canada) is a 103-year-old institution, and it is blessed with an excellent foundation and a rich history. Nevertheless, we must face head on some of the challenges to come. Firstly, it is important to recognize that our members, just as with other professions, are rapidly aging and retiring; therefore institutional renewal is critical. We must communicate and serve younger architects and interns if we are to remain relevant. And that may mean changing the way we do business and adjusting some of our priorities.

Since I began here at the RAIC 14 years ago I have witnessed a general public who have become much more in tune with architecture and design; but on the contrary, the role of the architect in society and on building projects and in the construction sector seems to be diminishing. There are no clear answers on how to reverse this trend but advocacy of a different sort must be considered.

External relations have been strengthened in many ways. Working relations with all collateral architectural organizations, such as provincial and territorial associations of architects is at an all time high. Because we are such a small profession it is imperative that we work together, collaborate and avoid overlap. There is no room for big egos or power struggles. This effort to work together can never be overlooked.

Internationally we have also grown, and the RAIC is once again a member of the Union internationale des architectes (UIA) and we lead the way for the architecture profession in international relations and often we give a friendly push to our regulatory counterparts to conclude

Executive Director’s Report Architecture Canada | Royal Architectural Institute of Canada 3 mutual recognition agreements. In a global society and in a profession that is, I believe, more international than any other profession, we must tap into this strength but also we must be on guard to deliver member value.

Although the RAIC has been able to provide timely and relevant practice support to members, this is no longer as simple as in the past with the ever-present world wide web, building information modeling, and seemingly endless internet services and resources. The challenge will be to determine what relevant practice support we as a committee-driven, consensus-type association can provide to members who are very nimble and technologically savvy.

Finally, I must confess that this job has definitely been an enormous amount of work but it has also been a very great privilege, and I have been lucky to have met many, many great architects and seen many great buildings across Canada and around the world. I wish to thank all RAIC Members, the many Boards of Directors I have served, and my professional colleagues coast-to-coast-to-coast.

Advocacy Magazine

Two issues of the RAIC’s advocacy publication, Architecture: A magazine for public and institutional administrators, promoted the profession of Architecture and quality design to the MASH sector – municipalities, academia, school boards and health care clients.

The winter/spring issue focussed on high performance schools and the summer/fall issue on health care architecture.
