Abstract

The qualification system of architectural industry in Japan has several problems. Although registered architects are engaged in a broad range, their specialty is not clear. Structural and mechanical engineers do not have authority and responsibility in architectural design. And the qualification is life-time system.

Throughout the study of these situations, this paper proposes concrete measures to establish the comprehensive qualification system of architectural industry in Japan.
