It seemed to be a tempting offer: all formal CPD points in two days
for $120.00! It looked like a quick, relatively cheap solution to a potentially
complicated and expensive, time-consuming matter, almost 'budget points.' CPD requirements appear to have
opened up opportunities that have a lingering sense of blackmail about them.
The obligation becomes somewhat onerous in its arbitrary application that
recognises neither experience, nor special needs, qualifications or reputation. Might Frank
Lloyd Wright have had to complete such CPD schedules? If one remembers that
Canada refused to let Mies van der Rohe practice in Toronto (Dominion Tower) without the local
registration requirements being completed, then the alarming response in this southern
colonial outpost must, sadly, be ‘Yes.’

The matter of attendance or not was resolved by another: a colleague had to get
his numbers up for this year having not done so previously, so I promised to go
with him to share the days’ events. Bookings were made and the wait started.
There was a period of uncertainty about one’s attendance after having damaged
an ankle, but medical technology made it all possible. This experience with a reduced mobility was
interesting: it opened up one’s eyes to the real problems of access for the
disabled. There would never again be any complaints on these requirements after
this occurrence that could itself become the basis of a CPD talk. Instead of thinking
that they were excessive, as frequently happens when one is designing and
detailing a project, one was left wondering if the current standards for access were adequate.

CPD ‘educational’ requirements have become a matter of
concern that needs more careful and considered attention and revision; see -
http://voussoirs.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/what-does-non-practising-architect-do.html
After perusing the calendar for the two-day ‘Main Event’ that was being put on by the Australian green Development Forum, it looked as though these were the type of presentations that manufacturers and associations used to put on free of charge with the promise of drinks and a meal - lunch or dinner with an open bar, without today’s mandatory sparkling water and orange juice options. The Board of Architects’ requirements have changed the commercial promotional events into 'CPD presentations' with its limited interpretation of the Architects’ Act that insists on every architect accumulating twenty points, ten formal and ten informal, each year, irrespective of experience, skill and scope of work. The desperation of architects makes it possible for promotional bodies to now charge for these suppliers' talks and not even offer a coffee, let alone lunch.

'Service' city on roof tops
The 'lost' cathedral
This needs a CPD study
Ah! Those were the days. It must have been over thirty-five
years ago now when one hardware manufacturer used to provide an annual,
three-course, sit-down Christmas lunch for the whole office, an event that
started at 12:00pm and finished late in the evening. Such an occasion would rarely been seen in these more 'responsible' days of beverage management and stringent frugality, even if the CPD
requirements were different. In the same way, the practice of calling into the
local pub for a drink and lunch when arriving at a country town for a meeting
or a job inspection, would no longer be tolerated. My favourite stories on
these experiences come from travels years ago with one member of the profession
who loved shortcuts that usually took the vehicle many kilometres off the
beaten track to a remote ferry. When on the ferry, after waiting for the ‘every
half-hour’ scheduled return, the inevitable question would be asked: have you
got any change? And on arrival at the destination, in the pub for the first
drink, the partner of the firm would confidently order the pots and disappear
to the toilet, leaving one to pay for the drinks when they arrived in his
absence. Yes, those were the days! This reminds me of the experience of one
builder who had been promised by the architect, (another one), that he would be
taken out for lunch if he did a good job. So after putting in an extra effort,
on completion of the project, the builder was taken out by the architect and
given a pie with peas! Architects, it seems, can be rather mean!
The neighbouring facade - classic 1980s
One recalls several occasions where afternoon meetings in
locations out of the office took place with a rather light-headed, partially
inebriated attendee: and in the office too. One wonders how many staff today
might get summoned over the hotel public address system with the demand that
everyone come back to the office - and not get sacked!! On reflection, one felt extremely grateful towards the partners of this particular architectural office who
were so understanding and tolerant of bolshy, boisterous students. Perhaps they
had been much the same when younger and understood? One of the partners told the story of his
student days when the afternoon on the drawing board after a visit to the local
pub for lunch was taken up with hatching, illustrating the insulation in the
walls and roof.
Urban furniture
So it is that in this
self-conscious, stolid era of sterile, responsible rigour, conscientious
workplace accountability, and relentless CPD requirements, that one has to
behave, collect points, and fill out questionnaires to tell the world what one
has learned, as if everything has to be examined and assessed. Has no one today
ever heard of learning by experience, or of understandings that cannot be put into
words? It seems not. These days, one’s lunchtime break is expected to include
earnest discussions on the ‘learning’s’ that one has just acquired through a ‘speed learning forum' to achieve certification. Oh for the fun of
other times when a little madness was not a dangerous thing!
The day eventually arrived. The early start made sure that
one would arrive on time at the correct place: the theatrette in the Brisbane
Square Council library, 266 George Street. One would have to discover where this particular room was. The
morning in the city was the usual mad rush of people and cars, all made to seem
more flustered by the gusty breeze in Brisbane’s most windy street. The response to the question put to the uniformed staff member managing the public foyer solved the
location problem. The theatrette was nearby. We were early: there was time for a coffee.
The seat steps
Nearer to the starting time we moved off into the space for the 'Main Event.'. The surprise was that it was a stepped theatre space with no fixed seating. One
was supposed to squat on the thin mats spread out on the carpeted steps. The
inadequacy of this arrangement was revealed when the array of chairs on the top
step filled up before anyone chose to use the mats on the floor provided as a last resort. Why
might anyone think that it would be satisfactory for folk to sit on the stepped
floor without any backrest for four two-and-a-half hour sessions over two days?
A couple of chairs were taken and placed in the front. These would do for us. Steps remained difficult to mount, even with the latest medical gadgets.
It was a relatively new building in the city, sharp and slick, complete with dramatic multi-storied columns and articulated forms, but it was already undergoing refurbishment. Council needs seem to
change quickly. The whole layout of the ground floor had changed and the courtyard shops and restaurants were being refitted. Generally the interior finishes were smart and shiny, and matched the external forms that were dramatically self-conscious in every aspect of
their being there. More folk arrived, and the day started. The first session
was ‘Green Concrete’ – Using Geoploymer Concrete. The list of
presentations for the two days was:
Wagners - Using Geopolymer Concrete
Waterproofing Solutions
CSR Bradford Insulation: Roofing
Office Culture
Smart Cities
Surface Preparation
CSR Bradford Insulation: Membranes and Condensation
The Ecovillage
The multi-storey column
The venue - Brisbane Square Library Theatrette
266 George Street, Brisbane
DCM Architects
Name tags and folders were handed
out to each attendee, complete with the certificate recording attendance. This
seemed like an act of faith, as the schedule for the two days suggested that a
certificate would be given at the end of each day after the requirements had
been fulfilled. This was no real concern. One would still turn up to all
sessions as the commitment had been made. The welcome was given and the
introduction was finalised, complete with the thanks to the original, aboriginal
owners of the land. This always seems to be a politically correct overkill, as
if one never considers this unless it is stated. The event was under way.
The ‘geopolymer’ talk was
interesting. The product was simply concrete that could perform in the same
manner as Portland cement, but with a much smaller CO2 ‘footprint’
and other improved outcomes. ‘Geopolymer’ seemed to be an odd name, for the
real difference was that, instead of using calcium silicate as a binder,
alumina silicate, a material that could be made from fly ash and slag waste,
was used. There was no mention of any polymer. That Wagners shipped in slag waste from China to make the alumina silicate seemed strange for what was being promoted as an efficiently ‘green’ product. One wondered if the transport had been
calculated into the savings and benefits? The ‘green’ concrete created less
heat when curing; had less shrinkage; and was resistant to acids and sulphates,
so there were some advantages. Its standard off-white finish would be of interest to some architects; but it cost 15% more. Sadly Wagners was not
wanting to become involved in the domestic market. At this stage of its development, this product was a material for large civil
engineering projects only. Wagners had used this concrete for the new airport it was constructing at Toowoomba. So ‘green’? – yes; indeed, the
concrete did strip green in colour and cuts green too, even when cured to its
off-white finish.
Geopolymer precast concrete
This talk turned out to be a
standard manufacturer’s presentation that might have been given to an office as
a regular lunchtime or evening talk, complete with lunch/tea; but here it was labelled
‘a CPD presentation.’ It seemed that businesses had already become aware of the
Board’s rules and had adapted their promotions to take advantage of them, turning the usual sales talks into
point-scoring events. One might have hoped that the CPD rules would have
reached for a higher level of engagement and outcome, instead of ‘business as usual’ with a
different name. Was it that folk did not ‘learn’ on ordinary occasions when
points were not accrued? This restructuring seems to have been allowed to occur
because the Board does not accredit any presentation made for points. Better is
needed. Here we had a firm not interested in small-scale work talking to a
group that was generally involved in small/medium-scale work. Was this useful
‘learning’s’? It might be an interesting subject to be aware of, but it is
hardly critical for any architect working on smaller projects. Still, it gets
the points! Surely that is the point, nothing else: so it appears, given that
the Board doesn’t want to care about real outcomes other than as numerical totals. It seems that one can never
be trusted to continue one’s own unsupervised education in the best manner possible,
tailored to particular personal needs and interests. No, one has to go to
classes, be punctual and fill out forms to make sure that the material was
understood; that one was paying attention! Is there detention for those who do
not? It seems that the punishment or threat of punishment is deregistration.

There were other standard ‘trade’ presentations over the
two-day event. These were: Waterproofing Solutions (case studies of
failures); CSR Bradford Insulation: Roofing; Surface Preparation (all
about painting prep); and CSR Bradford Insulation: Membranes and
Condensation. These sessions involved material that referred to specific
products. The coloured brochures that were distributed seemed to cover most of the
material presented. Condensation is interesting as our practices hardly give
any attention to this aspect of construction in our forgiving, subtropical climate. One does
not even see hot water pipes being insulated. Contractors just do not care. One
only has to have some experience of building in a really cold climate for the
problems of condensation and insulation to be come very obvious – indeed,
critical. We need to get away from our ‘She’ll be right’ mentality and pay a lot
more attention to what used to be understood as’ the science of building.’ CSIRO used to publish excellent studies on a vast range of subjects under the title: 'Notes on the Science of Building.' Alas, government funding cuts seem to have stopped this research.
Surface preparation required
So, of the eight sessions, five
were just the usual trade presentations, effectively explaining properties and
performances so that the products might get specified. The ambition was to sell more of the brand - it was all about sales. Information was being distributed for potential
profit. Is this ‘education’ or something else? Is this desirable? Could it/should it be managed in a different manner?
The other three sessions - Office Culture, Smart
Cities and The Ecovillage - were similar in format and subject matter to the typical architectural talks given to the profession with drinks and nibbles on an
evening. Office Culture was a flash name given to the subject of the talk on the
inner workings of the Donovan Hill office by one of its employees. It really
was an idyllic story of the DH ‘club’: how everyone lived in an open and richly
content, inclusive happiness that was facilitated by the office layout and
design.The latent message seemed to be that good office 'culture' would produce good design outcomes. The unique office air-cooling system prototype included dripping pipes over
drawings, a scenario that was presented as an acceptable quirkiness, as were the hidden
receptionist and the regular social events. One was made to feel very awkward, backward, if one thought that these things were abnormal or unacceptable. Surprise and unusual difference
seemed to be aim, perhaps to emphasize the 'creative' qualities of this firm? The daily event was the communal cooked lunch.The weekly
office get-together allowed everyone to show and tell for the benefit of
others who might happen to remember. These occasions made the office appear as
a delightful group engagement churning out quality work, working day and night just for the love of it, as architects do. This was at Spring Hill, but the office eventually
merged with BVN and moved into an ugly city high-rise, ‘the worst in the best
street,’ as it was described, a most unlikely place for such a firm, but it happened. And, true to
form, the ambitions for astonishment and alarming difference continued with this
one tower floor office fitout. The client asking about when the ceiling might be
completed, was snugly told that it was the only thing in the room that was
completed: 'idiot'!
The library office entry
BVN Donavan Hill new city office
At this stage of the presentation,
the story of the new fitout was told; all marmoleum except on the floor ('clever us'!); ceilings
and walls stripped and not replaced; entry through the library ('be surprised'!); communal group
areas; places to lie down; places for private work; projections; pin-ups; etc.
all on a polished concrete floor with cheap fittings and a receptionist that
sadly had to be on front display ('we hate clichés'!). There were no plastic edgings anywhere. The conceited spiel was that “One cannot do beautiful things with ABS edging on the desks.”
It sounded wonderfully arrogant, smartly proud, somewhat pretentious; but we
all know how offices promote an image and push a uniquely desirable vision; how one might long to
be a part of such a place, even work for the best architect in the world for
nothing! We all know how time and reality strip anticipatory wonder and turn it
into a boring, repetitive rigour – hard effort. One needs to talk to the 20
people who were sacked after the GFC in order to assess the magic of this
office: to discover the true story. Offices usually sound fabulous to the
outsiders. Participants rarely choose to expose the true order of things, as it might reflect on themselves - the duped. Ideas
and strategies might appear quaint and magical but realities are otherwise when
office managers start making efficiency demands and finances and deadlines are
being taken seriously. Still, one could appreciate the story and the clever
arrangements, concepts and outcomes.Architects are suckers for a good yarn. Whether these translated into personal contentment and
satisfaction is another thing. Consider the cliché personal desk, complete with
intimate images and personal items sprawled out into a communal identity. Can
everyone work effectively in noisy open space, in full view of everyone, everywhere, every minute of the day? Research suggests that this 'arty' circumstance can be a problem.

Facebook world - map made with no geographical information
The muddled graphic does not suggest such a smart future - city by committee?
The Smart Cities session was itself smartly slick,
fast, presented with the chopping changing of an Internet search, grabbing at
visions for urban ipads while adapting words and concepts to become possible
outcomes; predicting new worlds where the individual was important and could
participate in everything and have access to everything in order to make
decisions while playing with every possibility the digital world might offer in
a total integrated interactive world. There was something surreal here,
something like a bland, five-dimensional facebook involvement twittering away as the
cup and ball trick flashed in front of the eyes. Where is the substance? Where
was the sense of humanity – well, any humanity. There appeared to be no
subtle presence here at all. Everything was digitally based, self-centred and
self-important. Where was the quiet, the silence as experienced by the poet of old? Where was there time
and place to ‘lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help’ (Pslam 121)? Might one now only see electronic signals coming from hills? That one might ever have to confront death, only seemed to give
rise to the digital possibilities and challenges of one leaving messages forever after passing
away. Everything could be digital: every idea was a great idea allowing one to
be personally empowered - ME! There was no critique of any envisaged outcome; everything was grand!
The myth of connectivity
Facebook Europe - the ghost of communications
Federation Square was cited as the best urban digital
environment in Australia! What? This poor public space gained importance only
because of its digital possibilities allowing others, anyone with an ipad, to place
messages on the screen. What about place and space? – see: http://voussoirs.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/understanding-place-kobane.html The concentration on self and ‘smart’
technology appeared to blind everyone to subtleties: things refined, tacit and
emotionally vague. The message was that architects had to learn to let go:
others had to be allowed to participate in all of the outcomes from homes to
cities. What!? Does one allow anyone to come and fix up the Picasso; an Apple iphone; a Porsche or Suzuki; a . . . ? Think of design by committee! One
already experiences the circumstance where no one knows what to do until one
has started and presented a proposal: then everyone knows what is wrong; what
must be done etc. Such a situation is likely to generate chaos; a certain irrational madness managed by enabled ignorance. Coherence and concepts have a relationship with feeling, intimacy, integrity.
Kahn spoke of the numinous taking form in fact to become the numinous. How could random inputs achieve this? That
this might become a world where councils and governments would listen to anyone
is just naive. They might give the appearance that they do listen and care, as
in development proposals that have to go out for public objections, but these
bodies have all learned how to overcome all objections with clever words and
conditions. Councils and governments do not want to know and rarely want meaningful participation.They do not like being told and do not like telling anything.# I have one letter from the ex-Mayor of Brisbane, now Premier of the State, that rudely says
that he will no longer respond to the matter raised – ever, in spite of the facts being put before him. The latent message
was: go away! A leopard does not change its spots.* That digital worlds might think that they can achieve full
involvement in public matters and change things appears more than ambitious if not foolish in
its lack of critical scrutiny; its total lack of cynicism. ‘Get real’ might be the answer; predict real
worlds rather than dream worlds: ask questions; raise doubts. Believing that
everything is wonderful and possible with a the exuberant excitement suggesting the possibility of eternal happiness, is one optimistic approach, but this
blinds the eyes and minds to what is really occurring. One is reminded here of
the talk given at Bond University School of Architecture: see - http://voussoirs.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/exploring-definition-edge-condition-of.html
A world of intersections with Urban Infomatics at the centre of everything
The Ecovillage plan
The last session, The Ecovillage, covered the
experiences of the development called this in the Currumbin Valley. It all sounds
ideally environmental, but the social and 'green' issues and problems were revealed in
the talk that was frank and refreshingly open and honest. It set the example on how best to approach Urban Informatics. One might suggest that for the very best of outcomes, the developer should do everything and sell the buildings off as a complete part of a controlled and carefully managed whole. Having others involved only challenges the vision and opens up endless possibilities for argument. Groups are always ‘interesting’
socially, a real challenge: just look at the Body Corporate problems experienced by most communities, including this one. The real-life experiences of this village highlight the problems with having every Tom, Dick and Harry 'Urban Informatics' fan or not, with an ipad, iphone or any 'i' complex, having a say in what happens everywhere.
Common village area
This presentation finished with the statement that the
village would keep developing. It was an apt conclusion, for the whole idea of CPD needs to
keep being questioned, developed and refined to ensure quality outcomes. I still prefer
the arrangement where the Board itself might organize quality events to set the
example. The Board needs to become far more proactive instead of being the
policeman/woman. Why not start funding publications, research, papers; presentations
that, if one attended say two thirds of these 'CPD events,' might get the points
– if points are to stay! Increase the fees and be creative rather than itemizing and checking numbers from
re-named trade affairs and casual chitchats. If this ‘Main Event’ of the ‘Green Speed Learning Forum’ proved anything, it was that normal office life was doing
everything that was needed to ensure one was kept informed. CPD needs to be netter
than this if it is to be useful; if the effort is to be rewarded rather than
adapted to become a clever, shrewdly arranged accumulation of scheduled points.
Here less could indeed prove to be more: less 'schoolyard' overview of the
profession that is responsible enough to be concerned with everything around it
and about it. Why else do architects work all hours for nothing?
While one must finally appreciate the effort involved in organizing this 'Main Event' in Brisbane. CPD should be more than an endurance test; more than a
cunning game of clever opportunistic, point scoring if it is to truly be useful.
One’s private reading is much more meaningful than trading information or chat
fests. Why is this ignored? Why is there distrust? A good
chat at the pub can be more useful than some two-point presentations, even if one has an ipad, just as
it was in the old days when drawings were completed on drawing boards with pencils and pens!
Going home
# The favourite expression of the Irish journalist Claud Cockburn was: "Never believe anything until it's officially denied."
* There was a similar response given on another occasion when I had discovered that the hand-delivered hard copy and the E-mailed electronic version of my objection to a development had both 'gone astray.' There was not one person in the Brisbane City Council who was interested in talking to me about this serious lapse in its system that removed all of my legal rights to take the development to court. It seems that anyone in the Council could just throw out any document that was not liked, and no one would care. It appears more than naive to believe that one might co-operate usefully with any public body.
