History: 1971 act redefined practice of architecture by making slight wording change and substituting “contract administration of building construction” for “supervision of construction of buildings”; P.A. 82-419 amended section to change architectural registration board to architectural licensing board; P.A. 82-472 subdivided the section; P.A. 86-159 made a technical change in Subdiv. (3); P.A. 98-3 made technical changes in Subdiv. (3); P.A. 19-177 added Subdiv. (4) re definition of “Architect Emeritus”.

Utilization by another, for a sum of money, of plan prepared for plaintiff by an architect and owned by plaintiff, held not to constitute practice of architecture; performance of services by plaintiff for a corporation of which he is a member, held not to constitute rendering of services to a client. 148 C. 121.
