Talk:Royal Institute of British Architects

message: ====Civil engineers, UK====
Bridges and other civil engineering works can be like public buildings in that their designers can be as widely known among a wider public as some architects may be.
The articles for ICE and ICE Presidents are a near model for what Qexigator is proposing for a separate article listing PPRIBA. But while the article for Presidents ICE appears handsomely on screen, its format may be less friendly for a user who wishes to make a PDF copy or include it in a book: just as general articles should not force feed users with unneeded lists, so articles for lists should not force feed users with unneeded images. 
Qexigator's proposal for a separate article for PPRIBA is simply to use the list as in the present RIBA article (subject to checking for completeness and accuracy) and not to include images, but to allow for a further article which would be available as a  gallery of images . This gallery article could be begun as a stub should there be a contributor willing to make a start, and later added to as images became available.
* Institution of Civil Engineers, section on Former ICE Presidents
* List of presidents of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
====Structural engineering====
The information on this topic (for a further comparison) seems to be conveniently distributed in the articles mentioned below, taking account of the way in which users may wish to combine the contents of any of them (for PDF or books) with articles about civil engineering, architecture, or built environment etc.
* Structural engineering
* Structural engineer
* Institution of Structural Engineers
* List of structural engineers.

message: Articles about painters, sculptors and architects can also appear handsomely on screen with a  gallery of images . In these cases the images are the main part of the narrative which makes the subject 'notable'. Some examples:
* Edwin Lutyens inset images and Section 'Gallery'
* James Gibbs  inset images and Section on List of architectural works.
* Giotto  inset images and Section 'Gallery'
* Nicolas Poussin  inset images and Section 'Gallery'.
But in some other articles the  Gallery  section has so many images that it could be more convenient (for PDF or books as mentioned above) to make the Gallery a separate article. Some examples:
* Rembrandt
* Édouard Manet
* Claude Monet. -- Qexigator (talk) 07:18, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I have been told that there is (or was) a tradition that past presidents received a knighthood at the end of their term. Is this accurate? If someone can find a reliable reference then we should mention it - it would indicate that the RIBA is well-regarded by the establishment. Verbcatcher (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Those that were knighted, such as Basil Spence - Robert Matthew - Peter Shepheard - Banister Fletcher - Reginald Blomfield - Aston Webb - Gilbert Scott, were usually considered to have been notable for something more than PPRIBA. In the case of William Holford, he was made a life peer in the time of Harold Wilson. Other architects have been knighted and some created peers. Qexigator (talk) 07:45, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Coming fresh to this page, I'm amazed that a whole lengthy section is devoted to a sordid story of allegations and recriminations during Alan Jones's term as president. The whole thing is covered in exactly the same detail under Alan Jones (architect) and that is where it belongs. This article is a place for general information about the RIBA - I actually came here looking for information about the design of the RIBA crest - and the Governance section is out of place in the context. That whole section should be replaced by a brief mention of controversy, as was previously the case. ProfDEH (talk) 08:58, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I have shortened the section to summarise the main elements of the controversy, particularly as they relate to RIBA transparency, with a template link to the Jones article. If and when the QC's report of the internal investigations is reported, this section might need to be updated. Paul W (talk) 13:04, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
