Some 7,200 of the Associations members are professional practitioners and more

than 2,000 are students. Four out of every ve professionally active architects areemployed in the private sector, primarily as employees or entrepreneurs in architectand consulting practices. The great majority of practices are very small. At the sametime there are a few rms with about 400 employees, which is large even byEuropean standards. Architects are also active in property development enterprisesand in construction and property management companies.

One professionally active member in ve is a public servant. The majority of publicsector architects work in municipal urban development, city architect or planningofces. In the national government sector, architects are employed by nationalauthorities and utilities involved in construction, by county administrative boards and,as professors, teachers and researchers, at schools of architecture

Architects with degrees from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the ChalmersUniversity of technology, the Lund University Faculty of Engineering (LTH) or theUme University School of Architecture (UMA) make up the biggest group of mem-bers. Landscape architects trained at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciencesin Ultuna or Alnarp are the second largest group, followed by interior architectstrained at Konstfack (the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design) in Stockholmor the Gteborg University School of Design and Crafts (HDK). The smallest member-ship group, but a rapidly expanding one, consists of planning architects with degreesin spatial planning from the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH).
