    Study Notes

    Ethical Guidelines for Architects

    • Architects must not serve as professional advisers or jurors in competitions if they have prior knowledge or involvement in the preparation of such competitions.
    • Engagement as a Consulting Architect is permissible, but accepting employment for competition projects is prohibited.
    • Soliciting projects known to be committed to another Architect is strictly forbidden.
    • Undertaking commissions for projects previously worked on by another Architect requires written notification and confirmation of termination of original employment.
    • Any project involving additions or modifications to structures previously worked on must also notify the past architect, regardless of client changes.
    • Architects are expected to limit claims about work done to the specific contributions they made, especially when retaining elements of original designs.
    • When working with architectural heritage, restoration possibilities should be fully considered.
    • Criticism or discredit of another Architect's work must not be done maliciously or unfairly.

    Professional Conduct

    • Architects must not allow their names to be associated with any enterprises that could harm their reputation or the architectural profession.
    • Signature and seal should only be affixed to documents directly supervised by the Architect.
    • Advising clients against questionable projects is essential, even at the risk of losing commissions.
    • Cost estimates provided to clients should be explained as conditional and not guaranteed to avoid securing commissions through misleading information.
    • Architects should consider client needs and community impact when designing within budgetary constraints.

    Client Relations

    • Compensation should strictly come from professional fees billed directly to the Client, avoiding any other forms of returns or rewards.

    • Dispute resolution methods such as negotiation or arbitration should be included in client agreements.
    • Professional work must be done promptly within agreed timelines.

    Responsibilities to Colleagues and Subordinates

    • Using donated services for competitive advantage is not allowed, except for civic or religious projects.
    • Architects involved in the formulation of competition programs cannot enter as competitors.
    • Compliance with laws, ethical codes, and organizational bylaws is mandatory.

    Professional Integrity

    • Architects should pursue success through hard work rather than solicited publicity.
    • Confidentiality in client matters must be upheld, prioritizing the Client's interests above personal gains.
    • The importance of mentorship and loyalty within the profession is highlighted.
    • Constructive criticism and inspirational behavior are encouraged for professional growth.
