PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICE?

CONDUCT [BEHAVIOR] AND WORK [ EFFORT] OF

SOMEONE FROM A PARTICULAR PROFESSION.
 CONDUCT + WORK

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE =
BEHAVIOR + EDUCATION + TRAINING
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN
THE FIELD OF ARCHITECTURE
SHOULD IT BE THE UAP SPP DOCS?

OR LET’S TALK ABOUT THE

REALITY OF OUR PROFESSION
OR IS IT THE ARCHITECT’S ACTUAL PRACTICE VERSUS THE
STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE?
 LET’S TALK ABOUT THE RECOGNIZED SKILLS
NEEDED IN PRACTICING ARCHITECTURE

INTER-PERSONAL AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS

IT IS FACE-TO-FACE COMMUNICATION THROUGH

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL MESSAGES

LISTENING SKILLS – HOW WE INTERPRET BOTH

THE VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL MESSAGES
SENT BY OTHERS.
 JUST BE ASSERTIVE, DRESSED WELL
AND BE YOURSELF IN DEALING WITH THE
CLIENTS.

INVEST IN YOUR PERSONALITY

UNDERSTANDING THE SCOPE OF
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

IF OUR DESIGNS ARE BOUNDED BY MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM

OF THE BUILDING CODE, OUR PROFESSION AS AN
ARCHITECT IS ALSO CONFINED BY THE STANDARDS OF
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE - SECTION 41 OF RA 9266 OR THE
ARCHITECTURE ACT OF 2004
201 PRE DESIGN SERVICES
202 REGULAR SERVICES
203 SPECIALIZED ALLIED SERVICES
204 A FULL TIME SUPERVISION
204B CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
205 POST CONSTRUCTION
206 COMPREHENSIVE ARCHITECTURAL
207 DESIGN BUILD
 KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND MANAGEMENT
OF A PROJECT

NURTURE AND DEVELOP YOUR ARTISTIC SIDE, AS

WELL AS YOUR TECHNICAL ABILITY, BUT DESIGN
SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU ENJOY IF YOU ARE
GOING TO DO IT WELL.

IF YOU ARE AN ARCHITECT ACT LIKE AN ARCHITECT

AND WORK AS AN ARCHITECT
OFFICE MANAGEMENT & PROJECT MANAGEMENT [PM]
ALLOCATION AND THE COMPREHENSIVE
FINANCING OF SCOPE OF
RESOURCES ARCHITECTURAL
PRACTICE IT INVOLVES
TRAINED STAFF AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
COMPUTER SYSTEMS OVER AND ABOVE THE
NORMAL ARCHITECTURAL
ESTABLISHING AND AND ENGINEERING (A&E)
CHARGING SERVICES
APPROPRIATE FEES FOR
THE SERVICES
RENDERED.
IS ARCHITECTURE A CAREER MANAGEMENT OR A
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT?
A COMMON MISCONCEPTION OF THE ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE IS
THAT PEOPLE READILY THINKS ALL ARCHITECTS ARE RICH
LET’S SEE!!!

AND FULFILLMENT OF PROFESSION ORGANIZATION

BE A SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECT KNOW HOW TO PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE PRODUCT OF HIS /HER WORK
BE A SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECT
THE ARCHITECTS CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOCIETY

THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF ARCHITECTS LIES IN PART IN

BELIEVING THAT ARCHITECTURE CAN CREATE BETTER PLACES,
THAT ARCHITECTURE CAN AFFECT SOCIETY, AND THAT IT CAN
EVEN HAVE A ROLE IN MAKING A PLACE CIVILIZED BY MAKING A
COMMUNITY MORE COMFORTABLE
ARCHITECTS ARE NOT JUST INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF A
BUILDING. AS A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL WE ARE ALSO
RESPONSIBLE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
WHAT CAN WE UNDERSTAND ABOUT A SOCIETY BY EXAMINING
ITS BUILDINGS AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT?
A N D W H AT C A N W E U N D E R S TA N D A B O U T BU I L D I N G S A N D
ENVIRONMENTS BY EXAMINING THE SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY
EXIST?

IF YOU UNDERSTAND HOW A PERSON RELATES

TO THE WORLD, YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO
DESIGN FOR THAT PERSON.
CONCLUSION
THE ARCHITECT’S ACTUAL PRACTICE VERSUS THE STANDARDS OF
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE.
NOT EVERYTHING WE PLAN FOR ARE FOLLOWED STRICTLY. NOT ALL
STANDARDS SET ARE OBSERVED TO. AT SOME POINTS, WE ALL HAVE
TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. HOWEVER, SUCH ADJUSTMENTS HAVE TWO
TYPES OF NATURE. THEY MAY BE DONE IN GOOD FAITH, OR THEY
MAY BE DONE IN SERIOUS DISREGARD OF WHAT IS MORAL AND
LEGAL.
WE DON’T NEED TO COMPETE WITH OTHER PROFESSIONALS. THEY
ARE ALLIED PROFESSIONALS. ONE NEEDS THE OTHER TO
COMPLEMENT THE SERVICES. AN ALLIANCE WITH OTHER ALLIED
PROFESSIONALS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE SUCCESS OF EVERY
PROJECT
TO GOD BE THE HIGHEST GLORY
