You must say... the engineers.
An architect design the building distribution, facades, spaces, etc..., not how the structures should work or how the concrete or steel should be used or how a building must support their own weight, etc.
This particular case looks like a group of errors of engineering, supervising, administration, directive and may be also corruption.
