(a) An Architect shall not practice architecture in any manner
which, when measured by generally accepted architectural standards or procedures,
is reasonably likely to result or does result in the endangerment of the safety,
health, or welfare of the public.
(b) "Recklessness" shall be grounds for disciplinary action
by the Board. "Recklessness" shall include the following practices:
(1) conduct which indicates that the Architect is aware of
yet consciously disregards a substantial risk of such a nature that its disregard
constitutes a significant deviation from the standard of care that a reasonably
prudent architect would exercise under the circumstances;
(2) knowing failure to exercise ordinary care and attention
toward the intended result when a procedure, technique, material, or system
is employed as a result of a decision made by the Architect and such failure
jeopardizes any person's health, safety, or welfare; or
(3) action which demonstrates a conscious disregard for compliance
with a statute, regulation, code, ordinance, or recognized standard applicable
to the design or construction of a particular project when such disregard
jeopardizes any person's health, safety, or welfare.
