A stands for which term?

• A. Architecture of Record
• B. Authorized Representative
• C. Architect of Record
• D. Architectural Records

Answer: (C)

Architect of Record is the term used for the licensed architect or architectural firm legally responsible for the project’s construction documents and for overseeing the design as it moves into construction. This role stamps and seals the drawings, leads the development of plans and specifications, ensures compliance with codes and standards, coordinates with engineers and consultants, and manages construction administration—addressing submittals, RFIs, field changes, and final closeout. The other phrases don’t denote the formal responsible party for the drawings and construction process; they either refer to nonstandard terms or to records rather than the accountable practitioner.
