\"\"The IHBC\u2019s latest Guidance Note<\/em>, on Design sources for historic building conservation<\/a><\/em>, has been issues and added to the institute\u2019s open-access, online practitioner\u2019s Toolbox<\/a>\u2019.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The IHBC writes:<\/p>\n

The majority of IHBC members are routinely required to assess the appropriateness of the design of proposals, which is why \u2018Design\u2019 sits at the centre of the eight IHBC competences.\u00a0 So this new Guidance Note on Design sources for historic building conservation<\/a><\/em> is a critical addition to our Toolbox<\/a> resource.<\/p>\n

In addition to providing a comprehensive reading list on the subject, the Guidance Note gives advice on the IHBC\u2019s requirements in relation to design and how design competence can be gained.\u00a0 The relationship between urban design and design skills for conservation is clarified and a warning note is sounded with regard to stylistic considerations.<\/p>\n

Roy Lewis IHBC Policy Secretary and author and lead on the Guidance Note and its compilation said: \u2018In recent years, with the closure of a number of taught conservation courses, the opportunities for potential members to obtain formal training to meet the IHBC\u2019s requirements for design competence have reduced.\u00a0 Furthermore, some conservation courses provide only a rudimentary level of design content.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 formulated as a starting point for developing design skills for conservation of the historic built environment\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

The \u2018Design Sources\u2019 Guidance Note has been formulated as a starting point for developing design skills for conservation of the historic built environment.\u00a0 Draft versions of the document have been subject to wide consultation across the IHBC\u2019s committees and branches and the initiative has received widespread support.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It is hoped that this Guidance Note will prove useful to both prospective IHBC members who wish to develop design competence and existing members wishing to enhance their design skills.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said:\u2019 The IHBC\u2019s open-access, online practitioner\u2019s Toolbox<\/a> is an essential starting point for anyone seeking accessible guidance on those \u2018hard-to answer\u2019 questions.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course it has to target needs and priorities, so if you have suggestions on content for us to consider, just let us know using the feedback links on the Toolbox<\/a> pages\u2019.<\/p>\n
