I am so nervous about my first day as an intern tomorrow that I was suddenly inspired to search about architect profession. I've found that in my country, there is no certain regulation regarding the definition of architect and what is the job of an architect. And I also found out, that my country is the ONLY country that doesn't have that kind of regulation. This creates a fuss such as violation of Garis Sepandan Bangunan (hell, I don't know what you call it in English), violation of Koefisien Lantai Bangunan, and so on.
Now I found the definition of architect (not in a form of a legal law, so it still not regulated) that is an expert who is competent in architecture and practice of architecture is a practice conduct by an architect in architecture field. And then, it is also said that someone who already practices in architecture field, and trust me there are many, but haven't got neither license nor profession certificate, is not going to be considered an architect.
What about my senior who already got so many projects when he was still in college a.k.a undergraduate? Does that mean anybody can do practice of architecture without even have to be an architect? The law about this sector is still weak. That's why so many violation of regulations about building happens a lot. There is no clear definition to whom the law concerned. In the current law it is only said as 'service providers' (pemberi jasa), but it is not defined whether it is the architect, or the engineer, or the mechanical engineer, etc. And by regulations about building I am not only refer it as the formal law, but also regarding how a building should be design, regarding its aesthetics, and its users comfort and needs. But still, that is some other thing.
The most important thing is the definition of architect and its job field, after that how to be a registered architect. If there is no such thing, then my entire college study is a waste.
