The PoW Alumni Group is the membership group for Alumni and ex-staff of the former Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture, Urban Task Forces, Summer Schools, and of the academic programs of The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment. Members can post examples of their work, ask for technical advice from other Alumni, organise reunions, gossip or even look for a job.
The group is supportive of the views of HRH The Prince of Wales on architecture and planning. Click here to go to the official Prince's Foundation site.
Membership
Membership is restricted to individuals from one or more of The Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture courses or Summer Schools. (See below for a full list.)

"This group's a great idea and my compliments to the people who compiled the list and brought all from POWIA together again" - Deependra Prashad, American Summer School 1997

Courses
The Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture (PoWIA) opened at Gloucester Gate, London, in September 1992. The PoWIA merged with the Urban Villages Forum and Regeneration Through Heritage in 1998 to form The Prince's Foundation for Architecture and the Building Arts. The school was then known for a short time as 'School of Architecture and the Building Arts'. The Graduate Programme finished in July 1998, and the school transferred to Shoreditch in January 2000. The remaining Foundation Course in Architecture and the Building Arts closed in July 2001.
A new chapter was opened in 2008 with the first intake of students into the Graduate Fellowship Programme in Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism.

Summer Schools
Summer schools went under a variety of names. The first two were known as 'The Prince of Wales's Summer School in Civil Architecture', later ones as 'The Prince of Wales's European Summer School' or 'The Prince of Wales's American Summer School'. The last two (1998 and 1999) were not formally organised as summer schools, but rather run as an extension to the Graduate Programme.
The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment began offering Summer Schools again in 2008, with the residential summer school The Culture of Building held in Lincoln and Poundbury, UK.
