Architectural designing
- B.
Structural designing
- C.

Correct Answer
B. Structural designingExplanation
Structural designing is not included in the scope of practice of Architecture. While architects may have a basic understanding of structural principles, the detailed design and engineering of the structural components of a building is typically done by a structural engineer. Architects focus more on the overall design, aesthetics, and functionality of a building, while structural engineers ensure that the structure is safe, stable, and can withstand the loads it will be subjected to. Therefore, structural designing falls outside the realm of architectural practice.Rate this question:

This responsibility typically lies with the licensed Architect or the client. Consulting Architects are hired for their exceptional expertise and knowledge in the field, often backed by academic qualifications.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
C. An architectural practitioner for 5 yearsExplanation
An architectural practitioner for 5 years could be disqualified to become a member of the Board of Architecture because the question asks for someone who could be disqualified. The other options do not mention any disqualifications, such as being a resident of the Philippines or being a BS Architecture graduate of a recognized American university and passing the local board exam. Being a former faculty member resigned 5 years hence does not necessarily disqualify someone from becoming a member of the Board of Architecture.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 12 monthsExplanation
A Master's Degree in Architecture is considered to be a higher level of education and provides a deeper understanding of the field.

Correct Answer
D. Conviction for a political offenseExplanation
The correct answer is conviction for a political offense. This is because the statement clearly states that it is not a reason for refusal of registration and removal of name from the roster of architects. Therefore, the other options, such as misrepresentation in application for examination, conviction of a criminal offense, and immoral and dishonorable conduct, can be considered as reasons for refusal of registration and removal of name from the roster of architects.Rate this question:

This means that if a person assists or supports someone who is engaging in professional activities without the proper authorization or license, their own registration or permit may be suspended or revoked. This is because aiding in unauthorized practice goes against the professional standards and regulations set by the licensing board or authority.Rate this question:

However, there is a limit to the amount that can be collected, which is 50% of the architect's annual salary. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5% / 50%.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. A citizen of a country where Filipino architects are permitted to practiceExplanation
The given answer states that a citizen of a country where Filipino architects are permitted to practice does not comply with the conditions for foreign nationals to secure temporary/special permits. This implies that the conditions require foreign nationals to be from a country where Filipino architects are not permitted to practice. Therefore, being a citizen of a country where Filipino architects are permitted to practice would not meet the conditions for securing temporary/special permits.Rate this question:

This is unethical because it creates false expectations for the client and may lead to financial harm or disputes if the actual costs exceed the guaranteed estimates. It is important for architects to provide accurate and transparent cost estimates to clients, but they should not guarantee them as unforeseen circumstances or changes in the project scope can impact the final costs.Rate this question:

- A.
Economic Feasibility Studies
- B.

Architectural programming is a pre-design service that involves investigating, identifying, and documenting the needs of the client for use in the design of the project. This process helps architects understand the requirements and objectives of the client, including functional, aesthetic, and budgetary considerations. By gathering this information, architects can develop a comprehensive understanding of the project's scope and develop a design that meets the client's needs effectively. Economic feasibility studies, space management studies, and site selection and analysis are also important pre-design services, but they do not specifically focus on investigating and documenting the client's needs like architectural programming does.Rate this question:
