Answer:

Research Visits are intended to be broad in definition. Research visits are about what fires your passion as an architect and where you go to get inspiration. Accordingly, a research visit can be as wide ranging as a visit to famous or a new building, to a museum collection or an archives, to an institution where you are researching a design form or literature or a period of architecture, to a review of a piece of public art created in architectural form.
The application form is intended to be used for each visit you do. For example if you visit five buildings on one overseas or national trip, then you would submit one application for each building (5 applications). You can choose to put several buildings into one application, but there would be no difference in the points allocation. Each Research Visit application is worth 10 CPD points.
Your research review is then made available to all Registered architects and the points given are based on this open critique by your peers.
