2011 Position Statement Review

Public Policy
The practice of architecture should be regulated. The privileges and responsibilities of practice should be extended only to those architects who demonstrate through education, experience, and examination that they are ethically and technically prepared.

Supporting Position Statement:
7. Design of Structures for Human Habitation or Use

EXISTING LANGUAGE:
The AIA maintains that it is in the public interest for architects to design all structures primarily intended for human habitation or use. The architect's comprehensive education and training equips them to address the impact of design and technology on the health, safety, and well-being of the public and the built and natural environments. Each jurisdiction has a responsibility to its citizens to ensure that structures used or occupied by the public are designed by architects.

PROPOSED NEW LANGUAGE  None
# 7. Design of Structures for Human Habitation or Use Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree
Do you agree with this position statement?
The statement should include all buildings, not just those for human habitation or use.
The last sentence should be eliminated as it emphasizes only buildings that are used by the public and seems to exclude single family homes.
