Today's architects may practise as individuals or in small, medium, or large firms. They may be self-employed or salaried; operate as a sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, or a partnership of corporations; or work for an institution, a development company, or a large public organization.
Architectural clients may be a family, school board, corporation, housing authority, government office, or a contractor. Many architects develop their skills in generalist roles, but some are particularly motivated in certain areas of practice or professional skill. Both individuals and firms may choose to specialize in one of a number of areas and qualifications.
Some architects are active in more aspects of the program / design / construction procedure than ever before. Some are working on very large projects while others may be working directly with users on smaller projects and with segments of society not usually served. The architect of today has an opportunity to work in many different capacities on an international scale, with many Canadian firms now practising throughout the world.
Given the multi-faceted nature of the profession, it's not surprising, that Today's Architect also faces a unique set of financial obligations.

Professionals, by definition, are legally responsible and liable for any negligent errors and omissions that they make. Architects are no exception, and they are licensed to assure the public that individuals calling themselves architects do have the qualifications necessary to practise. Licensing is the responsibility of provincial associations, who are also mandated to promote and increase the knowledge, skill, and proficiency of their members in all things relating to the profession of architecture, and to advance and maintain a high standard in the practice of architecture.
The Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC) is a self-governing body dedicated to excellence in the profession of architecture for the benefit of its membership, the environment and society.
