- Consideration on articuIation and integration of the three requirements for the Iicensure -

Abstract

The architect license system in the United States of America and its recent revisions were investigated. In order to be registered as an architect there, the requirements are defined in the three categories: education, practice and examination. Through the investigation and interviews, trends in the recent revisions are revealed in relation to the 2012 NCARB Practice Analysis of Architecture. As architectural practice expands and evolves in a global context, the portability of professional credentials becomes further more important.
