Providing practical experience towards registration as an architect within the context of a supportive academic environment. The essay focuses on the particular support that an academic environment can provide for the graduate seeking practical experience outside of conventional practice. This enabling of a graduate to become the clear author of his or her own “year out” project may not be possible for all HEIs but when it can it provides a viable alternative exit from the academy. Examples of projects that were also eligible for RIBA Stage I and III practical experience are discussed and illustrated, including school projects in Hackney and Sierra Leone, sanitation infrastructure projects in India and a Centre for Sustainable Return in Bosnia. The projects include actual commissions and self-initiated projects.
