arkkitehtiasetuksen

Arkkitehtiasetus is a Finnish term that translates to "Architects' Decree" or "Decree on Architects." It refers to a specific piece of legislation or regulation in Finland that governs the profession of architecture, the requirements for becoming a licensed architect, and the ethical standards expected of them.

This decree typically outlines the educational qualifications necessary, such as completing a master's degree in architecture from an accredited university. It may also specify the period of practical experience required before one can apply for professional licensure. Furthermore, arkkitehtiasetus often details the process for obtaining and maintaining a license, including any continuing professional development obligations.

The decree also serves to define the scope of practice for architects, clarifying what services they are legally permitted to offer and the responsibilities they hold concerning building design, safety, and compliance with building codes and regulations. It aims to ensure a high standard of competence and professionalism within the architectural field, thereby safeguarding public interest and the quality of the built environment in Finland. Violations of the decree can lead to disciplinary actions, including suspension or revocation of a license.
