This paper analyzes the multiple tangents between architecture and ethics. Although it refers specifically to the kinds of contractual relationships and social expectations that bind builders to those for whom they build, the relevant ethical principles here are quite general and derive from the kinds of responsibilities that any supplier has to its clients. While acknowledging these connections between ethics and architecture, as a service rendered, the nature of the relationship between ethics and architecture remains a matter of debate. Architects and those who practice architecture should take into account numerous ethical norms to ensure both the safety and well-being of the clients. Building structures should remain firm for a long period of time, without affecting or endangering the lives of those around. According to this, strict compliance with building codes and regulations is mandatory for architects in order to prevent and avoid catastrophes.
