Your future in the balance

Article Abstract:

A group of eight rebel architects, in the 2006 elections to the Architecture Review Board's (ARB's) governing body, aims to take over all seven of the seats on the board reserved for members of the profession. If the rebels, who call themselves the ARB Reform Group, manage to do so, it is likely that the ARB would either be pared back, or, in the extreme, put out of business altogether, state observers.

Grade II* rating to be axed

Article Abstract:

English Heritage (EH) is preparing to abolish the Grade II* rating from the ranking system in 2006, a move that would more than double the number of Grade I listed buildings in England and Wales. However, some observers form the conservation sector warn that EH is also considering plans to relegate a number of the younger II* buildings, likely to be Modern 20th-century sites, down to Grade II.
