All this fraud has resulted in Weakened and falling structure, Increasing Fire in buildings.

LOSS OF LIVES DUE TO FAKE ARCHITECTURE PROFESSIONALS
Negligence of these Fake professionals result in loss of lives and the Entire Architecture Fraternity has to bear the circumstances due to these losses. therefore its a request from an Architect to stop all this and let Architects do what they are best at: Design Buildings.
​
LET ARCHITECTS DESIGN BUILDINGS
COA should set an interdisciplinary team which keeps a check on Practicing Architects and make sure they have a proper B.Arch Degree.
​
“Let building design be restricted to architects because it is their domain. Today, even non-architects design buildings. And this (the restriction) should be done by amending the Architects Act of 1972
