| dc.description.abstract | Globalization and urbanization are interrelated phenomena that have a tremendous impact on the twenty-first century and a substantial affect on the profession of architects and planners. Today, architects and planners have to consider increasing environmental, economic and social planning challenges in their practice Particularly, architectural firms have a significant role in the growing global construction market; simultaneously, some firms have shown a lack of understanding as to what social responsible building practices really do encompass (e.g. the FIFA World Cup 2022 unveilings in Qatar). As architects and planners are an integral part of the construction process, their decisions or actions directly or indirectly affect the construction process. Therefore, this paper raises the following research questions: How should architectural firms be governed and what responsibility should architects have attributed to them in the construction process? | |
