Introduction
Architecture entails the design of buildings and the spaces between those buildings. Art and science are employed to create liveable environments that contribute towards the spiritual and material prosperity of the country. Architects are often innovative, critical thinkers who lead and form part of consultant teams. Although they are employed by organizations involved with development, investment, research, marketing, the industry or even education, many architects prefer to be independent consultants and entrepreneurs.
BScArch is regarded as an exit level that enables the graduate to register as a candidate architectural technologist, and BArchHons as a candidate senior architectural technologist, at the South African Council for the Architectural Profession.
