Answer the following questions:

1. Under RA 9266, can a registered and licensed Architect


perform interior design for small projects?
- Yes, architectural plans/layouts, designs, and specifications including interior designs,
furniture designs, landscape architecture designs, acoustic designs, theater design, and so on ,
must be prepared only by registered and licensed professionals (RLPs) in accordance with the
special laws (PRLs) governing the practice of their respective professions in the Philippines.

2. Who should be held responsible for damages/accidents at


the site?
- Whoever signed and approved the construction architect's contract. Employer
responsibility for workplace injuries is unavoidable. If an employee is injured on the job or in the
workplace, your company may face a lawsuit as well as an investigation into the cause of the
accident.

3. An Architect refuses to give the original plan to the


Owner. Why?
- Architectural work is protected by copyright. Copyright is usually considered to restrict
copying the work, such as putting a document in a photocopier and creating copies to use, sell, or
otherwise distribute. In other terms, the owner of the copyright-protected architectural design
materials decides who creates copies and for what purpose. As a result, unauthorized building
construction based on unauthorized copying of copyrighted blueprints may likewise be
considered an infringing violation conduct.

The architect and any other contributors to the work normally own the copyright in an
architectural work at first. There are exclusions to cover employee works or "works made for
hire," but an architect's work in designing a building for an owner will likely not come under either
of these exceptions. Only by arranging a written transfer from the copyright holder can an owner
obtain the copyright.

4. An architect was tasked to prepare the overall concept of


a design project. What is his liability on the project? Explain your answer.
- For architects, liability, or the need to recompense someone else for loss or damage, is a
fundamental worry. The most common types of architect responsibility are breach of the client-
and-architect agreement (a breach of contract) and negligence (professional negligence).
Therefore, He/she has no civil liability. According to the regulations of RA No.9266, the Architect
of Record assumes civil liability for the plans he has signed and sealed.

5. If there are two (2) Architects on a certain project with


both AoR and Architect in charge of Construction, and when the building project
collapses, who is more liable?
- The architecture company that plans and produces the construction documentation for a
new building project is known as the Architect of Record (AOR) while the Architect-in-Charge of
Construction (Aicc) is personally and professionally responsible for the project's construction
oversight. And when the building collapses the person who is though the architect-of-record is
the one who is fully responsible for all architectural plans, specifications and other documents
issued under his/her seal or authorized signature it is not enough for him or her to liable on that
kind of situation , it will always be determined by the outcome of the investigation.
