The council of architecture (COA), a national body constituted to regulate the practice and study of architecture, has written to the chief secretary of Tamil Nadu to direct local and municipal bodies to verify the validity of registration of architects when they submit a drawing or building plan for obtaining approval.
However, the council and the local planning authority have conflicting views on allowing engineers submit and get building plans approved.
The communication said the council had received complaints that non-architects were practising as architects using fake certificates under jurisdiction of municipal corporations and local bodies.
COA president Vijay Garg said the council was receiving complaints of local bodies allowing unqualified personnel to work as architects and this resulted in low quality buildings . “Only a person with BArch degree from a recognised institution would be registered by COA,” he said. Engineers, howeevr, said that the council’s demand could overburden local bodies.
