The commented work file

The commented work file is in no way a compilation of the projects on which the ADE has worked during his professional experience.

It is a record designed to demonstrate to the HMONP committee that the ADE has acquired the fundamental knowledge of the HMONP course.

The portfolio of work, maximum 15 pages, will be organized according to the following 5 themes. These themes will be developed by highlighting the ADE's missions and professional experience.

The 5 themes

  • Architects as a regulated profession
  • The roles and missions of the Architects' Association and the Architects' Unions
  • The architect's personal and professional responsibilities. Insurance and the risks involved
  • The different modes of practice: self-employed and partnership practice
