“Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.” — Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Architect…what’s in a word?
This week we had a contributor send this interesting article to us from archrecord2. There has been much discussion in recent years over the use of the word, “Architect”. Many states currently reserve the right to use this title only when one becomes accredited. However, there seems to be no way of distinguishing a person who has recently graduated from design school from, say, someone with 5+ years of experience in the field who is sitting for board examination. Instead everyone is allowed to use the broad term, “Intern” to describe their current professional status. Perhaps a case recently decided in Colorado will assist as a catalyst for more discourse on this subject. Follow the link below for more information.
