PoW Alumni Forum Italian Summer School The PoW Alumni Forum is the contact forum for Alumni and ex-staff of the former Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture, Urban Task Forces, Summer Schools, and of the education programs of The Prince's Foundation.   Members can post examples of their work, ask for technical advice from other Alumni, organise reunions, gossip or even look for a job.

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.

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.
