Update: Bulletin 05: Resignation of Registration
November 25, 2015
An updated version of Bulletin 05: Resignation of Registration is now available. This version replaces the November 2012 edition. Architects, honorary members and associates may choose to voluntarily resign their status for various reasons at different stages of their careers. Bulletin 05 provides information to assist with making that transition.
This revision provides more information, increases clarity and improves the reader’s use and understanding of the relevant issues. The revisions are not a change to the interpretation of the relevant sections of the Architects Act or AIBC Bylaws.
AIBC members and associates are reminded to notify the AIBC of their intention to resign by submitting a written notice of resignation before the February 1 annual renewal deadline. By doing so, registrants resign in good standing and avoid being removed from the register for non-payment of fees. Those individuals considering resigning or revising their status are encouraged to contact the AIBC well before the deadline so that the staff at the institute may provide assistance as necessary.
Those who wish to reinstate their registration with the AIBC at a later time will be responsible, amongst a number of requirements, for reconciling any outstanding fees.

He returned to Vancouver and in 1976 formed Roger Hughes Architects, a firm that has evolved over four decades to become HCMA Architecture + Design. During his career, Roger’s work has adapted to changing contexts and needs while consistently being recognized for its design excellence.

Born in Oldham, England on January 8, 1917, Fred T. Hollingsworth immigrated to Canada in 1929. Plans drafted for his own house, built in 1946 and which his wife resides in to this day, led to an offer of employment at the prestigious Sharp & Thompson, Berwick, Pratt architectural firm. Fred designed the iconic Sky Bungalow, introducing what would become common features of the West Coast modern home. He has since been regarded as one of the originators of West Coast Modernism. In 1967, Fred began his own practice which he ran until 2004. Among his distinguished achievements, Fred served as AIBC president in 1971 and then president of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 1975. In 1976, he was awarded Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
Over the past 12 years, Dr. Nancy Mackin has designed and researched spaces that help keep young people healthy. These efforts, which are all beyond her regular practice, address the issue that young people are having difficulty staying healthy. To address this issue, she has listened to young people and invited them to help envision, design and, in some cases, build the spaces that foster their health and well-being. Her efforts demonstrate her commitment to providing young people a direct voice in how, where and under what conditions they enjoy their active recreational environment. Nancy’s commitment sets a high standard for community service by an architect and makes her a worthy recipient of the Barbara Dalrymple Memorial Award for Community Service.
