Architecture Practice Around the World
Arch. Gary Turton attaches the PDF discussed at the last business meeting from one of the workshops at the XXIII UIA Congress of Architecture in Torino this year. It contains information about Architecture practices around the world. and was compiled by the UIA Professional Practice subcommittee.
Trinidad and Tobago, which is in Region III, at the time of the last surveys in 2005 had 100 architects, which for its population of approximately 1,311,000 means that there 13,110 inhabitants per architect or a index of 0.076.
The lead country, Japan, has 416 people per architect with an index of 2.404 .
The world index in 2005 was 0.336 or 2,976 inhabitants per architect. This means that Trinidad and Tobago is well below that index, and could definitely use a few more architects to raise the standard of architecture in the country.
China curiously enough is well below the world index with an index of 0.028 or 36,097 inhabitants per architect. This may explain the reasons for China’s current levels of outsourcing.
The ‘Architecture Practice Around the World’ research document has lots of other interesting statistics. Arch. Gary Turton will be making a brief slide presentation on his trip at the next business meeting. You can read more info about the event on the uia website:
