1. The practice of architecture is the rendering of or offering to render services in connection with the design and construction of public and private buildings, structures and shelters, site improvements, in whole or part and including any additions or alterations thereto, as well as to the spaces within and the site surrounding such buildings and structures, which have as their principal purpose human occupancy or habitation.

Only a person with the required architectural education, practical training, relevant work experience, and licensure may practice as an architect in Missouri.
