Definition of a ‘complex project’

A complex project is one that requires the application of skills and knowledge to resolve and integrate complex aspects including, but not limited to: siting, planning, structure, services, materials, composition and configuration. It requires the integration of cultural, social, environmental and technical issues.

Not all architectural projects follow this format, or even result in a built outcome.

However, this is the level of competency that is tested.

Note that for the purposes of Rule 7 (d) of the Registered Architects Rules a ‘complex architectural project’ is considered to be the same as a ‘complex project’.
