It is important to note the difference between The Institute of Architects of Zimbabwe (IAZ) and The Architects Council of Zimbabwe (ACZ). Whilst the two organisations are complementary to each other and share the same board and administration, they perform separate functions.
The ACZ is a statuatory body that exists to uphold the conditions of The Architects Act; and to provide for the REGISTRATION and REGULATION of the practice of Architects in Zimbabwe. Membership of the ACZ is restricted only to REGISTERED Architects. ONLY persons Registered with The Architects Council of Zimbabwe may undertake the work of an Architect in Zimbabwe.
