Abstract
All planning professionals, architects, civil and structural engineers, building services engineers, etc. are not only responsible for planning and designing but also for managing the realisation of all planned projects. The word architect is derived from the Greek word “arch” meaning chief and the word “teckton” meaning carpenter or builder. As the name implies, architecture involves more than designing a building. The roots suggest that the architect is a master builder or one might refer to him/her as being the leader of a construction team. It follows that architects, and this also applies to the other planning professionals, require theoretical as well as practical knowledge. This is acquired through a combination of academic education and professional training.
