We invite you to the Third Multiplier Event of the Architecture's Afterlife Project, hosted by Politecnico di Torino on Friday October 1, 2021 (on-line) at 2:00pm-5:00pm CEST. The (MIS)MATCHES BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION AND PRACTICE invites representatives of the professional bodies of Architecture’s Afterlife partners’ five nations—Belgium, Croatia, England, Italy and Spain—together with experts on professional bodies’ policy in the EU Member States. In this event, we will talk about how the practice of architecture is mediated, organized, and regulated by national and international professional bodies; what are the competencies acquired in architecture education and requested by the profession; and how  “European” are the European professional bodies and the architect's practice that they represent.
