doctorate in architecture
I'd use Dr. NAME (doctorate in architecture), if context isn't enough for the reader to guess you don't mean he/she is an MD.
Or else Dr Name (DSc) - I presume architects don't get Phds do they?

Been trying to track down the initials for a doctor of architecture, without any success, sorry.

Comment: "Thanks, Berni. I'm just going to put Dr. Name, architect, and readers should be able to figure things out. As far as I know, the terminal architecture degree in the U.S. is a Master's; at least that's the highest any of the schools I looked at when I was considering the profession went to."

... the licensed architect ...
Problem is, the standard Ph.D.-equivalent for architects (at least in the U.S.) is "A.I.A." after the name, indicating that the person is a member of the American Institute of Architects -- a prestigious position indeed.
One notch up is "F.A.I.A." (Fellow of...), which gets you into Pei / Johnson / Gehry territory.
Alternative to "licensed" might be an explanatory footnote.
Hope this helps a little,
Heather

: in Europe, normally every architect is licensed; still you don't have to be a "dr.".The AIA thing is just an expression of membership, not for a grade.

True, and I didn't mean to imply any direct equivalence -- just a sense of the architect's (preceived) level of professionalism.
