Members

The INTBAU College of Traditional Practitioners (ICTP) is a peak international professional body for practitioners in traditional urban design, architecture, and the building arts who have produced a sustained output of traditional work of the highest quality over at least five years of practice. Full details of our current members are at the bottom of this page.

ICTP membership is limited to practitioners of the highest standard in the academic, professional, artistic, trade, craft, and practical activities concerned with building, architecture, and urbanism that support the objectives of INTBAU. Members of ICTP need to have produced a sustained output of traditional work of the highest quality over at least 5 years of practice.

Application is by form, submission of portfolio, and payment of a non-refundable examination fee.
