Dear Hussam Ali,
The client, because he is paying to the architect. (similar with book publish)
Regards,
Laszlo
The architect can use ( I cannot find the proper English world) in the Hungarian: 'eszmei érték' (ideal value-but not so good)
Dear László Attila Horváth ... Thanks for answering..
I get the meaning.. many many thanks for contact... I really appreciate...
Dear Hussam Ali Mohammed
I agree with László Attila Horváth . The client should be owns copyright
The customer has the right to dispose of the work of the civil engineer because he paid for it
Marina Mihaila ... thanks for answering...
May I assume that your answer is (The architect own the copyright)... even that the client had already pay for the whole work....???

This is actually not such a simple question. There is copyright (the right to content) and the right to reproduce (in case of building - right for keeping, using etc. of project). Transfer by the author of the right to reproduce it does not mean the loss of author right. For example, if you gave a book or an article to a publisher, then the contract clearly states what the publisher can do with it (and in what spatial and temporal framework) and for what reward. But by no means he can use this work without mentioning the name of the author, etc.
There are whole section of the Law, very voluminous and professional.
Marina Mihaila ... You have good point of view.. we all respect your opinion, ..it consider a deep point of conflict between whom create the idea and whom buy... Actually, I'm with the designer .... by the way.. . I have another question about the designer. if you like to answer, you will find it between my questions...
Thanks for answering..
Regards...
Dear Vadim S. Gorshkov ... thanks for answering...

International law is with architect. Author is not slave. He can sell commerсial rights, but not authorship.
The expertise belongs to the architect, hence the copyright, unless otherwise stated in the contract agreement.
Dear Edwin Chigozie Nwokorie ... Thanks so much for answering..
Dear M. A. A. Al- Fatlawi ... Thanks for joining our discussion...
copy rights terms are always well defined in a particular project etc. Most of the cases, one who pay for it own the rights.
Ownership of copyright is the right of the architect unless the owner agrees with the contrary to be a proven paragraph in the contract between the parties.
Dear Hussam,
Copyrights can be transferred, so both of them or any one of them can own the copyrights of the architectural project depending on the agreements between them.
However, the architect owns the intellectual property of his architectural work, which means the client can not change, edit or modify the architectural work.
