Why would he have any personal skin in the game? An architect has nothing to do with the quality, build, or any issues pertaining to the actual construction of the building. You're aware that architect does not necessarily, or even usually, mean "foreman, inspector, fabricator, labourer," etc.?

Saying that the ARCHITECT had any personal concerns wold be like saying that an engineer that helped design the Ford Ecoboost engine has a personal stake in the game when there's a recall due to faulty airbags... that engineer had NOTHING to do with that aspect of the car - but they must cover ass because they worked on some of the mechanical design?

Get a grip, Junior.
