	In the early-19th century the Institute of British Architects was formed in London to promote and direct the education of architects. It was later renamed the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and it still operates under that name today, alongside other architectural institutes such as the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT).

−	Within the construction industry, architectural roles have always been the most ~~‘human’~~, dealing with relationships, negotiations, and active listening. Indeed, research by the World Economic Forum identifies these traits as among the most desirable skills for future professionals including; complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, and coordinating with others. Due to its mastery of such skills, the role of the architect or technologist has been identified by the BBC as highly unlikely to be automated.	+	Within the construction industry, architectural roles have always been the most 'human', dealing with relationships, negotiations, and active listening.

−	One way or another the role of the architect has had to change in relation to industry innovations. The introduction of the pencil in the late-16th century along with the earlier introduction of paper in Europe allowed for the production of pre-construction drawings. Later, the specialisation of the trade led to innovations around the drawing board such as the introduction of parallel motion, but the availability of personal computers and the advent of computer aided design (CAD) has subsequently led to their demise. Today the majority of drawings are drafted using polylines and layers as opposed to pens and razor blades.	+	One way or another the role of the architect has had to change in relation to industry innovations.
