ARCHITECT’S ROLE
IN THE SOCIETY
WHAT ROLES DO ARCHITECTS
PLAY IN SOCIETY ?
● Architect’s responsibility to society is to make
sure that not the structure alone but also its
physical environment can enhance the lives of
all people.

● Architects relate not only to purely design &

build professions but to allied professions as
well, to achieve totality in design.
● Architects design buildings that address social
needs and attempts to resolve environmental
and humanitarian problems through
architecture.
● Architects must be psychologists, sociologists,

economists, and artists.
● Architects must also be engineers, for they
must be able to construct structurally stable
buildings.
● Architects must take into account four basic

and closely interrelated necessities: technical
requirements, use, spatial relationships, and
content
IN SUMMARY
● An architect helps to build the evolution of society
by physically manifesting items of culture in the
form of spatial concepts where representations of
culture meet the human mind in a multi-sensory
locality.
● An architect has a physical sensory responsibility
to the people who experience the constructed
space while also acting as an artist and painting
the picture that we call society.
WHY HIRE AN ARCHITECT ?
• Architects have a lot to offer to a
changing world. Architects can apply
their creative problem-solving skills for
wider developmental benefit in
concert with other built environment
professionals.
• An architect has to look at all
scales of human interaction
understanding the smallest details
to the big picture.
• Architecture involves much more than
buildings. Architects take the client’s vision
and give it form, explore its possibilities,
raise it to new levels, and then integrate it
into the building site and the community at
large. Architects bring not only design, but
solutions.
THE BUILDING ENTERPRISE
THE BUILDING ENTERPRISE
• Small firms -with less than 5 people usually have no formal
organizational structure, depending on the personal
relationships of the principals and employees to organize the
work.
• Medium-sized firms - with 5 to 50 employees are often
organized departmentally in departments such as design,
production, business development, and construction
administration.
• Large firms - of over 50 people may be organized
departmentally, regionally, or in studios specializing in project
ARCHITECTURAL FIRM
• (From RA 9266) a sole proprietorship, a partnership or a
corporation registered with the DTI AND/ORSEC and then
with the Board of Architecture and PRC.
• is an organization of licensed professionals and trained

architects who use their scientific knowledge, technical
skills, and aesthetics persona to create architectural
designs.
TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL FIRM
• SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP
• an individual Architect practicing and delivering architectural
services.
• is a single, unincorporated owner of an architectural practice.
This architect has full personal control over all aspects of the
practice. A sole proprietor can range from someone with a
small, home-based office practice to an architect who employs
many professionals and paraprofessionals.
• PARTNERSHIP
• a group of two or more Architects practicing and delivering architectural
services.
• is comprised of two or more partners. Most provincial and territorial
associations impose restrictions on whom an architect may form a
partnership with. A partnership may include “associates”; however, only
the partners bear personal responsibility for the control and liabilities of
the practice. Each partner is both jointly and severally liable for the
partnership’s full obligations. Because a partnership is a complex form of
ownership, its terms should be spelled out in a partnership agreement
• CORPORATION
• a group of professionals in architecture and allied professions
incorporated with Architects for delivering professional service
in architecture and allied professions.
• is a legal, collective entity authorized by statute to act as an
individual business unit. Most provincial and territorial
associations of architects have regulations that restrict the
share ownership and the qualifications of directors of
architectural corporations.
• ASSOCIATION
• any formal grouping of two or more
architects or architectural firms
working in joint venture on a project
basis.
PUBLIC INTEREST AND
SAFETY
• Architects must ensure the occupants’health &
well-being; & mitigate the effects of natural
phenomenon such as earthquakes, typhoons,
tsunamis &flash flooding.
• Architects must ensure occupants safety in case

of fire.
• Human behavior aside, fire is the most complicated
phenomenon that the architect encounters.
• Structure, plumbing, and ventilation are all tame, well behaved,
and quite predictable. But fire, as a combination of physics,
chemistry, geometry, structure, and materials that are intimately
connected with human behavior, is perhaps the least well-
defined common occurrence. And fire relates to nearly all
elements of a building’s design.
• Fire safety has specific effects and raises specific
concerns for each building element, from site
placement through alarm systems, structural design,
environmental controls, and aesthetics.To produce a
functional building, it is necessary to understand the
impact of fire safety considerations on all of these
areas.
• Professionally, an architect's decisions affect
public safety, and thus an architect must undergo
specialized training consisting of advanced
education and a practicum (or internship) for
practical experience to earn a license to practice
architecture.

ACADEMICALLY QUALIFIED?
• What is the meaning of ACADEMICALLY
QUALIFIED?
Have taken a 5 years of program course of
Bachelor of Science in Architecture
• WHAT IS BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
IN ARCHITECTURE ?
• The Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BS Architecture) degree
program is a five-year curriculum that focuses on providing students
with technical and aesthetic knowledge on how to build any physical
structure
• The curriculum for the BS in Architecture includes CHED-mandated

general education courses,technical subjects in Math, Science, and
Basic Engineering, and professional Architecture courses delivered
through classroom lectures, laboratory sessions, and studio design
activities.
In the Philippines, the BS in Architecture program is provided in a ladder
format:
• The first three years focused on giving students the opportunity to draw and
design with a sense of quality and technical expertise;
• to enhance visual perception; and
• to comprehend architecture as a technique of communicating principles.
Students who successfully complete the specified courses at a specific level

will be awarded Certifications for the technical abilities they have learned,
such as a Certificate in Drafting Technology, a Certificate in Building
Technology and Utilities, and a Certificate in CADD.
In the Philippines, the BS in Architecture program is provided in a ladder
format:
• The remaining two years are spent:
• planning actual projects, delving into more precise spatial and visual
issues, and gaining skills in computer science as it relates to architecture.
• The thesis requirement for the course places a special emphasis on the
necessity of research.
• Furthermore, knowledge and awareness of the profession's ethical
principles is an important component of the training.
• CMO no. 61 Series 17 – policies, standards and guidelines for
Bachelor of Science in Architecture .
• Program Educational Objective :

methods and theories of other discplines.
• A BS Architecture graduate must first pass the Architecture Licensure
Examination (ALE), which is conducted by the Board of Architecture and
overseen by the Professional Regulation Commission, in order to become a
professional.
• The ALE is held twice a year. To be eligible for the board, graduates must
have completed a minimum of two years of internship.
II. APPRENTICESHIP AND
DIVERSIFIED TRAINING
• An architecture apprenticeship is
similar to on-the-job training, but it can
be more intense and focused on
learning. Of course, each experience
will vary depending on the organization
educating the apprentice, but the
purpose stays the same.
