Although the title “architect” is protected, core architectural functions can be undertaken without proper regulation or accountability. We believe this creates risks to public safety, building quality, sustainability, and clear professional responsibility. Architects are trained and regulated to coordinate design, safety, and compliance. Protecting their function supports better building outcomes and aligns with post-Grenfell safety reforms.
