Professionalism in the practice of Architecture

ARB (CoC)

RIBA (CoC)

Practices (CoC)

"Ethics is outside of law and code"

As a policy: avoiding procuring work from certain industries

Government<>Culture<>Commerce

Regulator of consumer protection for service

RIBA (volontary) - neutral body - public interest

Future Focus - Ethics - Global - Inclusivity (values, sustainability, 'architect in practice' 60s)

More about the knowledge, not just architects

UK/Aus/Scandinavia = light reg (who)

Common law (what)

EU Directive (12 principles) -> ARB Criteria

Health & Safety = revalidation (proposal)

Commercial promotion (RIBA chartered practice)

Trying to affect policies by being a neutral body between government and the world of commerce (frictions here might impact the law)

Professional Indemnity Insurance is really protecting the client from loss (and indirectly the architect)

Appointment agreement in writing (fee proposal, scope of works...) - before doing any work ->otherwise breaking the code

1. Integrity

2. Competence

3. Relationships (supplanting- write to other architect if you start a job he/she started, making sure their contract is terminated)

CODES<->LEGISLATION

[revise all acts and codes on slide]

"would a similar architect working on a similar project do the same job"

Length & cost of training -> exclusivity

Ethics: bringing attention + making sure

80s = public/private 50/50

= no advertising allowed

= 1982 fee scales abolished

RIBA & ARB involved in same case

- balance of probabilities

- beyond reasonable doubt

ACE - fee scales in Europe

RIBA Chartered Practice = templates&tools

-loads of small practices (individuals, designers, visionaries)

"offentlig upphandling"
