Situation: Paulina is a 23-year-old architecture graduate from a prestigious university who is preparing to take the Architects’ Licensure Examinations.

Paulina came up with an original floor plan but in order to save time, she mostly copied the façade of a house designed by Architect Lenny, her college professor who gave his students copies of the plans of that house for a class exercise.  Paulina prepared the detailed plans and the specifications but since she is not a licensed architect yet, she asked her cousin Ariel, who is a civil engineer, to sign and seal the plans for the purposes of obtaining a building permit.

Situation: Anna, Bea, and Claire are three undergraduate architecture students who decided to make good use of their summer break by accepting ‘sideline’ work. Being architecture students, they intentionally sought architecture-related small jobs in order to gain useful work experience while earning money. Anna asked her mother to tell her amigas that she (Anna) offers architectural services, specializing in the design of single-detached homes. Her mother, though reluctant, complied with her daughter’s request. Bea, meanwhile, looked for draftsman/apprentice job postings on Jobstreet and applied. Finally, Claire, being savvy with social media, posted ads on Facebook Marketplace and other online listing platforms to advertise her services, introducing herself as an “architecture student who can design many types of buildings and can prepare complete contract documents for purposes of applying for the building permit.” None of them, however, were hired or commissioned for any job or project so they ended up not working at all the entire summer.
