In the [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Built_environment built environment], the term '[https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Professional_practice professional practice]' refers to the conduct and work of someone from a particular profession.

Practice or practise?

It is worth noting the difference between ‘practice’ and ‘practise’: in UK English, the former is a noun (as in architectural practice) while the latter is a verb (practise playing guitar, etc). A useful mnemonic is that practice contains ‘ice’ which is a noun. So, practise is the verb. However, in American English, 'practice' is both noun and verb.
