In order to operate independent of the clients interests, specialisms can help the professional attain a level of authority over a particular field, guiding the clients based on their accumulated knowledge of the field, with as little compromise as possible.
The RIBA, as one of the leading institute of architecture in the UK, would need to be heavily involved to curate the trajectory in which specialisms would take, creating standards and goals to reach for each specialisation in order to evolve.
