| The duties of an architect applies only to public safety and adherence to City and Local Codes. Governing agencies short of HOA's do not regulate aesthetics. A role of the architect differs significantly whether they are doing a commercial project to that of a custom home and everything in between. |

Does anybody ever wonder if there are ways to purchase insurance for our practice?
Has anyone ever opened the AIA handbook of professional practice and read through ways of protecting the practice?
I think its quite naive to believe that architecture is defined by "Thompson Prometric / The Chauncey Group" (the group that I last saw manage the ARE) |

That makes sense. It all depends on the situation.
What situation does the American exam focus on?

Question 1) It's a good topic. People can learn from it.
2) What image are you talking about? The image I posted in this topic is of a leader, who doesn't need a badge. I don't wear a badge.
3) That's a good question
??? on your closing statement. If you could add a bit, that would help understand.
Thanks
Derek

| Unfortunately, the lawyers and the clients they represent do not see the limits of our responsibility as defined in the AIA. If you're practicing on your own, you are well aware that no matter the precautions you take, a client can threaten a law suit whether it is your fault or not. The only way to full proof from potential litigation is to not do the project. As "thorough" as the AIA contract is, the owner can rip up an executed contract and tell you in your face, "what are you going to do about it?" A developer once told me, it is not a matter of right or wrong, the party with the most money will prevail. |

The following statement is false
" dear Riha you do not need to pass the architecture registration exams (A.R.E) to practice architecture. However if you do take the test and pass all nine divisions it will give you the authority to stamp and sign contract documents and this also means a higher pay. I will also like to add that depending in the state that you are a degree from an accredited program (NAAB) may be required plus completion of your intern developement program (IDP).
If you like to work all that you need to do is put up a portfolio
pd: for more information contact the national council for architecture registration board (NCARB)http://www.ncarb.org/
The bold statement above is a materially false statement. |

1-why?
2-If it is false that would mean that any work being done around the world is not architecture unless the person passes the ARE?
3-then what exactly do junior architects do?
4-then Le Corbusier never practiced architecture?
5-so architecture schools are not necesary because people only need to pass the ARE to practice architecture?
6-where in the US is there a law that specificaly states that a person has to pass the ARE to practice architecture?
7-Then we all have the right to sue people like Rafael Moneo and other foreign architects for not being registered in the state that there commisions get built?
8-Walker do you have an idea of how many people practice architecture around the world and in the US without passing the ARE ?
9-Walker have you ever worked in a firm?
10- If my statement is false prove it, because I can prove with CD's "construction documents" and copies of checks issued to myself that I did work as an architect without passing the ARE.
yours

| Way to go Landy, I totally agree with you! Passing the ARE in my opinion does not necessarily place a candidate in a higher position. I've met my share of incompetant registrants as well as talented non-registrants. In no way does the ARE prove the merit or talent of any candidate. In my younger days, people in the profession would tell me how difficult the tests are. Since so many people told me this, I believed them. Fortunately, I've met many clueless registrants prior to me taking these exams. I figured, if these guys can pass the exams, why can't I. Provided you work hard and study, these exams are extraordinarily easy. |

Nice epigram, I agree, I was being blunt.
