Towards Quality in Architecture and Fair Economy in Architectural Services
Στις World Architecture Day, η Order of Architects of Portugal (OA), in partnership with the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE), will host an International Conference at the Casa da Arquitectura in Matosinhos.
This event will bring together representatives from several European architectural organisations — including Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Croatia — to debate common challenges for the profession.
The main focus will be:
- The remuneration of architects across Europe
- The impact of fees on service quality
- The lack of regulation and bureaucratic obstacles
- Pathways towards fair and sustainable practice
Η Order of Architects of Portugal (OA) stresses that this debate is crucial for sharing experiences and finding solutions to what has become the profession’s greatest challenge: low pay, misaligned fees, lack of regulation, and excessive bureaucracy.
