The number of practices expecting public sector work to fall over the same period shot up by half with 38% of firms expecting less work.

• RIBA to take no further action over London region row Portland Place, London Middlesex England

  Published: 11th July 2010

  RIBA to take no further action over London region row RIBA president Ruth Reed has attempted to draw a line under the row which threatened to engulf the London region. She said the Charity Commission had ruled that the RIBA acted appropriately, and that John Devlin’s internal enquiry, conducted at her request, had also been concluded satisfactorily. “John Devlin’s conclusion, supported by a lawyer’s opinion, is that whilst the report criticises the behaviour of some individual members, there is no evidence of any criminal behaviour, serious impropriety or anything of a disciplinary nature. No further action will be taken,” she said. Azar Djamali resigned as chair of the London region council in April on t

  British Institute of Radiology 36 Portland PlaceLondon W1B 1AT History The British Institute of Radiology (BIR) is the oldest radiological society in the world. The origins of the BIR can be traced back to a first meeting held on 2 April 1897 to form "The X-ray Society".

The formal Grand Inaugural Meeting was held at St Martin's Town Hall in London in November that same year and was less than two years after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen had discovered the X-rays.

• Architecture awards: Schools win the prizes – but has a chance been missed? Portland Place, London Middlesex England

  Published: 3rd July 2010

  The Riba (Royal Institute of British Architects) awards for buildings "that have high architectural standards", announced last week, are a glimpse into a golden age of public building that never quite was. The most striking thing about the winners is that 17 were educational buildings, in among the more usual art galleries and private houses. This reflects the previous government's immense investment in the physical fabric of schools, which the new government plans to cut back. So there are likely to be fewer school buildings up for awards, and a brief flourishing of educational design may already be over. But another question is why, given the vastness of spending until recently, the list of awards is not completely dominated by
