Role of Project Architect in Arbitration
Project architect has a dual role
As per clause 55 of IIA, he acts as a “Quasi-Arbitrator” to give his decision on “excepted matters” between the client and the contractor where his decision is final and binding.
He is required to supply whatever information( copies of correspondence, drawings, site supervision memos etc.) the Arbitrators require in connection with any reference
The Arbitration & Conciliation Act 1996
Arbitration Act 1940 has become outdated.
General Assembly of the UNO recommends that UNCITRAL adopted in 1985 be the basis of new law to bring about uniformity of law of arbitral procedures and the specific needs of the international commercial arbitration practice
Though UNCITRAL deals with international disputes, with certain modification they could serve domestic arbitration and conciliation.
New act seeks to consolidate and amend the laws relating to domestic arbitration, international commercial arbitration, enforce foreign arbitral award and define laws relating to conciliation
Lessons for Architects from Arbitration cases
One of the main reasons why disputes arise between owners and contractor as far as construction projects are concerned is that quite a few architects do not perform their roles as Project Architect and Quasi-Arbitrators early on in the project.
Some of the steps that he can do to prevent such disputes are
Production drawings.- Complete and freeze design and drawings prior to tender.
Notification formalities- Issue all notifications on time
Certification of bill- Approve/certify all bills on time and ensure payments
Time as “Essence of Contract”.- Avoid Holds that can lead to extension of time.
Final Accord and satisfaction-Ensure full and final payment is done.
Minutes of site meetings- Weekly meeting and minutes recorded and approved by all
Consultant fees: Payment for sub consultants is one on time
Predesign Investigation: Owner required to furnish information about site
Accepting assignments: Proper documentation and fee structure as recommended by COA
Premature termination of Architects services: Owner right on full payment of fees upto that stage.
Architects Professional Liability
Whether a small architecture enterprise or a multinational million dollar conglomerate, the work of architects and engineers is constantly under the spotlight. No matter how careful and exact an architect or engineer is, their work is constantly scrutinized by clients, leaving the chance of facing a lawsuit alleging negligence or failure to render professional services. Working in an industry that continues to feel the negative effects of the economy, architects and engineers cannot afford to take this risk - and that is where we can help.
The Institute of Town Planners, India, owes its origin to a small group of Town Planners of Delhi, who in 1947 decided to set up a professional Town Planning Institute on the lines similar to the Royal Town Planning Institute, London. The number of planners, which then did not exceed six, was too small for a registered society to be set up and therefore, the small group formed itself into an Indian Board of Town Planners and started working towards establishing a professional Institute.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. • The Council of Architecture (COA) has been constituted by
the Government of India under the provisions of the
Architects Act, 1972, enacted by the Parliament of India, which
came into force on 1st September, 1972. The Act provides for
registration of Architects, standards of education, recognized
qualifications and standards of practice to be complied with by
the practicing architects. The Council of Architecture is
charged with the responsibility to regulate the education and
practice of profession throughout India besides maintaining
the register of architects. For this purpose, the Government of
India has framed Rules and Council of Architecture has framed
Regulations as provided for in the Architects Act, with the
approval of Government of India.
3. •
Any person desirous of carrying on the profession of
'Architect' must have registered himself with Council of
Architecture. For the purpose of registration, one must possess the
requisite qualification as appended to the Architects Act, after
having undergone the education in accordance with the Council of
Architecture (Minimum Standards of Architectural Education)
Regulations, 1983. The registration with Council of Architecture
entitles a person to practice the profession of architecture, provided
he holds a Certificate of Registration with up-to-date renewals. The
registration also entitles a person to use the title and style of
Architect. The title and style of architect can also be used by a firm
of architects, of which all partners are registered with COA. Limited
Companies, Private/Public Companies, societies and other juridical
persons are not entitled to use the title and style of architect nor are
they entitled to practice the profession of architecture. If any person
falsely claims to be registered or misuses title and style of architect,
such acts tantamount to committing of a criminal offence, which is
punishable under section 36 or 37 (2) of the Architects Act, 1972.
4. • The practice of profession of an architect is governed by the
Architects (Professional Conduct) Regulations, 1989 (as
amended in 2003), which deals with professional ethics and
etiquette, conditions of engagement and scale of charges,
architectural competition guidelines etc. Pursuant to these
Regulations, the Council of Architecture has framed guidelines
governing the various aspects of practice. An architect is
required to observe professional conduct as stipulated in the
Regulations of 1989 and any violation thereof shall constitute
a professional misconduct, which will attract disciplinary
action as stipulated under section 30 of the Architects Act,
1972.
5. •
There are 135 institutions, which impart architectural
education in India leading to recognized qualifications. The
standards of education being imparted in these institutions
(constituent colleges/departments of universities, deemed
universities, affiliated colleges/schools, IITs, NITs and autonomous
institutions) is governed by Council of Architecture (Minimum
Standards of Architectural Education) Regulations, 1983, which set
forth the requirement of eligibility for admission, course duration,
standards of staff & accommodation, course content, examination
etc. These standards as provided in the said Regulations are required
to be maintained by the institutions. The COA oversees the
maintenance of the standards periodically by way of conducting
inspections through Committees of Experts. The COA is required to
keep the Central Government informed of the standards being
maintained by the institutions and is empowered to make
recommendations to the Government of India with regard to
recognition and de-recognition of a qualification.
