| Summary: | Ethics and ethical charters have a direct impact on the quality of architecture.
The aim of this research is to conduct a comparative study of selected professional
ethical charters in architecture in Iran and the West to improve and enhance the ethical
charters of architecture in Iran. This research is of a comparative nature, and to achieve
the research objective, the principles of professional ethics have been extracted based
on theoretical foundations and background. Subsequently, a deductive approach was
used to analyze the content of ethical charters in five architectural ethics charters
from the West and two architectural ethics charters from Iran. The comparison of two
ethical charters in Iran with the five studied ethical charters indicates that, in terms
of the frequency of ethical components, the ethical charter for building engineering
has more similarities with the ethical charter of the Society of Consulting Engineers
than with the Western charters. The content of many ethical components in these
charters is identical and synonymous, and in some cases, based on the context and
existing unethical issues in architecture and construction in the country, they possess
some unique ethical principles. The findings of the research indicate that ethical
charters are largely formulated to serve the interests of the profession. The revision
of architectural ethical charters should not only focus on serving the interests of the
architecture profession and architects but also pay special attention to human values
and dignity |
