5.3.5 Architecture and spatial planning
In the Netherlands, the professional titles of architect, town planner, landscape architect and interior architect are protected by the Architects Title Act [Wet op de Architectentitel, 1987]. Only those who are registered in the Architects Register may use one of these titles.
The aesthetic aspect of the built environment is protected by the Dutch Housing Act [Woningwet, 1992], regulating and controlling the aesthetic standard of building activities.
