The Architects Registration Board, which regulates the licensure and registration of architects in the United Kingdom, announced this week that UK architects will no longer be able to automatically practice in the EU’s 27 countries, as they had before Brexit.

(Ireland is the exception—the ARB and the Royal Institute of Irish Architects have agreed to recognize each other’s qualifications until any new UK-EU mutual recognition agreement is implemented.)
