Apologies 
Summary 
Apologies there is no CPD Snippets this week – we are busy with something else 
 
However, we would like to take this chance to remind you that RIBA Tees Branch & CPD Snippets wouldn’t exist without our fantastic volunteer members who produce our events, content and support on top of their everyday jobs 
 
CPD Snippets was introduced to help members keep up with CPD during the pandemic. Feedback that this was a useful service, has kept it going and we try to cover the whole RIBA CPD curriculum to ensure members can cover a variety of topics no matter the size of their practice or the work that they do. 
If you have a topic, you would like us to cover, please let us know ribateesside@gmail.com

Sight | Accessibility 
Summary
A key component of architecture is the visual aesthetic, so how do we design buildings that work & appeal to those who cannot utilise this sense fully. Designing inclusive environments often benefits society as a whole and not just the targeted audience, giving us richer and better considered spaces & buildings.

Retaining Walls | Design
Summary 
Often sites pose us a variety of challenges, one of these can be the terrain. Sometimes we need to ‘hold back the earth’ for both utilisation and dramatic flair and for that we need a retaining wall. Although this lies in the domain of the engineer it’s good to have an understanding of what is possible & the different ways to achieve what you need.
