the spaces around them, taking
into account the safeguarding
of life, health, property, and public
welfare; often includes consultation,
evaluation, planning, the
provision of preliminary studies,
designs, and construction documents;

construction management, and
the administration of construction
documents.

Client
A person who commissions
professional services. In relation
to architecture, Andres Duany
(2003) suggests, clients—as
distinct from patrons—“are not

for contact with architects
during the design process, they
acquire a modicum of sophistication.”
Duany comments: “The
resulting buildings can be quite
good and sometimes excellent.
