Membership Rules

The requirements for membership, including any educational or professional requirements, are listed below. Additionally outlined are the steps for membership application, acceptance, and termination.

Members must be residents of the UK and be currently based in London.

All members must provide information about the applicant's educational background, including the institutions attended and degrees earned. Applicants who are still studying have to provide their student certificate.

Applicants must submit a CV that details their professional background and relevant experience, such as experience working in an architectural office, design studio, or other related creative fields.
All applicants are required to submit a one-time application fee of £60 once their application is confirmed. This fee is non-refundable. Student members are exempt from a one-time application fee.

The annual membership price for professionals is £80. Student members are exempt from annual fees.
All students must pay the one-time membership application fee and the annual fee as soon as they have graduated or completed their studies. Failure to do so may result in the suspension or termination of their membership privileges.
Once their membership is confirmed, all members agree to pay the £80 annual membership fee and the £60 one-time application fee (for professional members) or to provide a valid student certificate (for student members) within a 14 day period. Failure to do so may result in the suspension or termination of their membership.

Each member will receive a digital card with their membership number.

A certificate of participation will be given to each lecturer and workshop participant.

Members of the board must have at least two years of professional experience.

For reasons relating to their professional honour, applicants must have complete confidence in their reputation and dependability in society and must not have been lawfully convicted of a deplorable crime.

Any unethical behaviour and anyone found to have submitted false information during the registration process will result in the cancellation of membership and exclusion from all upcoming activities.

Any unprofessional or disrespectful conduct towards the board of members or other members may result in the termination of membership and exclusion from any future activity.

Members who have been removed from the member list in accordance with the disciplinary provisions cannot be re-entered into the member registration list until 4 years have passed.

Each member has the right to leave the association as long as they provide written notice. As soon as the resignation petition of the member reaches the board of directors, the leaving procedures are deemed to be completed. The accumulated debts of the member to the association do not terminate with membership resignation. The member is obliged to pay the accrued debt until the resignation date.

Members who do not fulfil their obligation to pay their dues for two consecutive years and do not pay their debts within the 15-day payment period given to them through official notifications are excluded from membership.
