Usage notes

  • Use for both men and women; for a woman, many speakers say l'architetta, but architetto is still common professionally.
  • Capitalize only in formal titles before a name: l'Architetto Rossi. Normally it stays lowercase.
  • It often refers to the profession, but can also mean the planner behind something: architetto di una riforma is figurative and formal.
