Ensure, promote, and improve
Welcome to the website of the Architects Register. We are a public-law autonomous administrative body that implements the Dutch Architects’ Title Act (WAT). We also manage the architects register. It includes over 14,000 interior architects, architects, landscape architects, and urbanists. So when we talk about 'architect', we mean one of these professional titles.
An architect is uniquely capable of connecting past, present, future, diverse interests, and ambitions, and envisioning solutions. Solutions that are balanced, add quality, and appeal. In doing so, the architect plays an important role in safeguarding and improving the spatial quality of our living environment.
Whether you are already registered, want to register, are looking for an architect, or want information on how to become an architect; you will find all the information on this website.
Legal titles may only be used professionally by individuals who are registered in the Architects' Register.

'BEP offers a unique opportunity to learn all aspects of the design profession'
Architects Willemien van Duijn and Barbara Kuit will bid farewell to the BEP Architecture Committee after 11 years
They have worked as a steady duo in the Architecture Committee since its inception in 2013. The first interview took place in 2015, and now it is time to pass the baton to a new pair. But before we say goodbye to Willemien and Barbara, we would like to hear from them about their experiences over the past decade, how they perceive the added value of the professional experience period, and what words of encouragement they have for future candidates.
