This lecture focuses on the ethical issues involved in the formation of professional judgment in architectural design and practice and also how to expand one’s professional role and expertise to bring meaning to practice through serving clients. Along with an explanation of relevant laws, codes and regulations that affect architectural practice, the AIA’s 2007 Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is explained in detail. Organizations such as Architecture for Humanity, CDCs, Rural Studio, or Habitat for Humanity provide opportunities to explore professional ethics and obligations to communities at large. The humanitarian work of several prominent architects and the need for architects to provide leadership in the building design and construction process and on issues of growth, development, and aesthetics in their communities and in the developing world also are addressed.
