The architect has the client’s mandate to act as their representative and to carry out juristic acts on the
client’s behalf, which the client is not allowed in law, to carry out themselves. The architect is required
to act with ‘Utmost Good Faith’ in carrying out their services.
The profession has come a long way …Vitruvius, one of the earliest known theorists of architecture
states: ‘Architecture is a science, arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied
learning: by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts’.
