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.)

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 Programmes
In 1990 HRH The Prince of Wales held his first Summer School in Civil Architecture. The name was carefully chosen as the word 'Civil' suggests both 'of the city' and 'politeness/respect' which neatly encapsulated what HRH considered architecture ought to be about. These were more than just summer schools and were initially held at Magdalen College Oxford, The British School at Rome and the Villa Lante in Bagnaia. Later courses run by The Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture were known as 'The Prince of Wales's Urban Design Task Force' while those in the United States went under the title 'The Prince of Wales's American Summer School'. The last two (1998 and 1999) were not formally organised as separate events, but rather run as part of 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. Since then the Residential Summer School, now known as 'Building Skill in Summer', has been held in London, Lincoln, Wales, and in 2012, will be held Scotland.
