City CPD Club Truro Day 3
We have updated the 10 mandatory RIBA CPD Core Curriculum topics in response to the skills our members need to practice architecture, now and in the future. The ten Core topics will help you maintain competence, update your knowledge, acquire new skills, future-proof yourselves and your businesses and deliver socially purposeful architecture.
The RIBA City CPD Club 2020, an innovative schedule of seminars and workshops covering the 10 mandatory topics, is designed to help you achieve your annual CPD requirements.
Fire safety design: active and passive fire protection

-
The implications of the ban on combustible materials on the outside of buildings
-
Key elements of fire science, enabling you to understand the five phases of fire, how building products react to and resist fire, and how these factors might impact on a particular building design
-
Where to gain additional knowledge of passive fire protection
-
Key information on passive fire protection, including fire-stopping, cavity barriers, fire doors, fire resisting glazing, fire resisting ducts and dampers

Core Curriculum topics
1. Places, planning and communities
2. Health, safety and well-being

Inclusive design for external built environments
This seminar will consider how the external built environment, including streets, landscaped areas, the approach to a building and the spaces between and around buildings, can be designed, built and managed to achieve an inclusive environment.
The most recent publication of BS 8300:2018: Design of an accessible and inclusive built environment includes a separate code of practice, which exclusively considers the external environment. It includes aspects of the wider external environment that were not covered in the original standard, particularly in relation to the external public realm. This seminar will explore the importance of this link in the access chain and how public realm, streets and approaches to buildings are vital in ensuring safe, dignified and independent access to services and facilities for all building users. This interactive seminar will cover:
- Navigation, orientation and way finding: inclusive of signage and lighting
- Public transport infrastructure: bus and tram
- Parking provision: on-street and off-street, cycle parking, electric vehicle charging, setting down and picking up points
- Approaches to and around building
- Access routes: hazards, surfaces, obstructions
- Public facilities: seating, landscaping, art, public realm, shared space principles
