The rates will remain at the 2009 levels for all membership categories, (encompassing Associate Member, Affiliate, and Chartered Member both UK and International) including the concessionary rates, which are available to members experiencing financial hardship.

RIBA President Ruth Reed said:

"There is no doubt that the architects' profession has been severely affected by the economic downturn, and this is something that the Institute fully understands; the RIBA is firmly committed to supporting the profession through this difficult time, and our work to assist members has been very well received. RIBA Chartered membership is recognised worldwide as a symbol of professional excellence, and members have access to an important network of technical, contractual and professional support, which is an invaluable resource."
