1. The document discusses professional ethics for architects, including obligations to the public, clients, profession and colleagues. It outlines ethical standards from codes of conduct that govern architects.
2. Historically, the Code of Hammurabi from 1700 BC held builders responsible for proper construction and included capital punishment for negligence resulting in loss of life.
3. Modern professional ethics codes provide guidelines on topics like conflicts of interest, undisclosed business relationships, misrepresenting qualifications, and criticizing other architects' work. Architects are obligated to prioritize public safety.
Architects Professional Liability
Whether a small architecture enterprise or a multinational million dollar conglomerate, the work of architects and engineers is constantly under the spotlight. No matter how careful and exact an architect or engineer is, their work is constantly scrutinized by clients, leaving the chance of facing a lawsuit alleging negligence or failure to render professional services. Working in an industry that continues to feel the negative effects of the economy, architects and engineers cannot afford to take this risk - and that is where we can help.

Ted Neward, delivers brass-tacks advice on how to make decisions regarding programming languages to use (Java, .NET, even FoxPro); architectural approaches to take (n-tier, client/server); user interface approaches to take (Smart/rich client, thin client, Ajax); and even how to communicate between processes (Web services, distributed objects, REST). Ted understands the goals of an application architecture
and why developers should concern themselves with architecture in the first place. In this session, he dives into the meat of the various architectural considerations available; the pros and cons of JavaWebStart, ClickOnce, Windows Presentation Foundation, SWT, Swing,
WinForms, Struts, WebForms, Ajax, RMI, .NET Remoting, JAX-WS, ASMX, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, JMS, MSMQ, transactional processing, and more. The basic architectural discussion from the first part is, with the aid of audience
interaction, applied to a real-world problem, discussing the performance and scalability ramifications of the various communication
options, user interface options, and more.

Impact of Climate and Environment Changes on the Sustainability of the Coasta...Galala University
Impact of Climate and Environment Changes on the Sustainability of the Coastal Areas: The Case of Ain Sukhna, Red Sea, Egypt
This paper investigates the impact of climate and environmental changes on the sustainability of the coastal area of Ain Sukhna, Red Sea, Egypt. Ain Sukhna sea shores and Galala mountain region have witnessed rapid change and modifications during the past 50 years. Climate changes are expected to impact this area through the increase in the amount and intensity of rainfall and the rise of seawater tides. Modifications applied to the topography of the mountains through grading and levelling are spreading excavation debris on the sides of the mountains creating a new hazard if swept away by the rainwater. The paper analyzes the design and construction of the coastal and mountain developments and assesses their capacity to withstand these changes. The negative impact of these changes is not only ecological but also physical and socioeconomic. Climate change impacts are becoming more instantaneous and intensified. Place-based strategies for reducing the negative impact of climate change are required to reduce the physical and ecological vulnerabilities and manage the impacts of climate change.

Sustainability of Tourism Development in the city of Ain-Sukhna, Egypt
Tourism is a major economic source for Egypt, due to its significant natural and cultural attractions. Yet, rapid development and construction of touristic facilities have a negative impact on the fragile natural and cultural heritage. This paper studies the recent touristic developments of the coastal stretch of Ain-Sukhna on the Red Sea coastal region of Galala Mountain, and their impact on the surrounding natural and cultural attractions. Coral reefs and rich marine life have made this stretch among the prime fishing and scuba diving destinations in the world. The area is also famous for its year-round sunny beaches and the spectacular coastal scenic drive where Galala Mountain reaches the Red Sea. Recently, development has started on the mountains following the construction of Galala Mountain Road. Galala City started with Galala University and several residential, touristic, and commercial facilities. This paper studies the pattern of development in the area during the past 40 years and assesses its impact on natural and cultural resources.

Sustainability of Tourism Development in Al Ain Al Sukhna, Egypt
Due to its significant natural and cultural attractions, tourism is a major economic source for Egypt. Yet, rapid development and construction of touristic facilities has negative impact on the fragile natural and cultural heritage. This paper studies the recent touristic developments of the coastal stretch of Al Ain Al Sukhna – the hot spring in Arabic - on the Red Sea coastal region of Galala mountain, and their impact on the surrounding natural and cultural attractions. Coral reefs and rich marine life have made this stretch among the prime fishing and scuba diving destinations in the world. The area is also famous of its all-year-round sunny beaches, spectacular coastline scenic drive where mountains reach the costal road. Recently, development has started on the mountains following the construction of Galala Mountainous road. Galala City started operating hosting Galal University and several other residential, touristic and commercial facilities. The paper studies the pattern of development in the area during the past 50 years and assesses its impact on the natural and cultural resources.
Typologies of Urban Development in Sukhna-Zaafarana Area.pdfGalala University
Development of Sukhna-Zaafarana stretch went several forms and intensities during different periods of time. It is currently witnessing another wave of rapid development resulting in more stress on the natural and urban environment. This paper analyses the typologies of its urban development and their resilience to potential risks of climate change using urban design techniques to analyze the area in terms of character, continuity and quality of the public realm, ease of movement, legibility, adaptability and diversity. In addition, the research analyzes the different natural sites, such as the shoreline, the floodplains, the Galala mountains, and the valleys. Methods used in this study included: survey and analysis of the built and natural environments based on maps and site visits; and SWOT analysis to identify the potential risks and challenges in the area. Maps and tables of typologies based on the date of construction, environmental characteristics, neighborhood planning, architectural design elements, urban design features, landscape design, greenery, and water features are produced. The results of the study indicate the absence of visual connectivity, architectural identity, public services and facilities, and overlapping vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Moreover, the built environment is vulnerable to climate change risks, since most structures on the coast are built either close to the shoreline or on floodplains, hence threatened by sea-level rise and extreme flush floods respectively. The study concludes by suggesting a set of urban design guidelines based on the three principles of sustainability; environmental, economic and equity to achieve a more sustainable and resilient environment.
AI-Human Dialogue for Architectural Design Concept Generation presentation 26...Galala University
AI-Human Dialogue for Architectural Design Concept Generation presentation
Architectural design concept generation is the process of coming up with the initial ideas for a new building or structure.
It is an essential part of the architectural design process, as it provides the foundation for the rest of the design.
AI-human dialogue for architectural design concept generation is a process where an architect and an AI system collaborate to generate architectural design concepts.
The AI system can be used to:
Generate ideas: The AI system can be used to generate a wide range of design ideas
Evaluate ideas: The AI system can also be used to evaluate design ideas. This can be done by considering factors such as functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. This can help the architect to make informed decisions about the design.
Collaborate with the architect: The AI system can also be used to collaborate with the architect. This can be done by providing feedback on the architect's ideas or by generating new ideas based on the architect's input.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Dive into the innovative world of smart garages with our insightful presentation, "Exploring the Future of Smart Garages." This comprehensive guide covers the latest advancements in garage technology, including automated systems, smart security features, energy efficiency solutions, and seamless integration with smart home ecosystems.

2. Joining a professional society means
subscribing to that society's ethical
standards.
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
3. Professionals are granted certain
rights by society and, in turn, they
are obligated to meet accepted
standards of professional behavior.
ETHICS
4. • Ethics are integral to the
practice of architecture.
• The enlightenment philosopher
Jean Rousseau talked about the
concept of a Social Contract
(1762) , by which people of
different backgrounds and
cultures could enter into an
agreement that would limit
some of their liberty, but in doing
so would help to create a more
solid foundation for civilization.

5. The Code of Hammurabi
1700 or 1800 B.C.
• Law 229. If a builder build a house
for someone, and does not
construct it properly, and the
house which he built fall in and kill
its owner, then that builder shall
be put to death.
• Law 230. If it kill the son of the
owner, the son of that builder shall
be put to death.
7. 1- While performing services, the architect's foremost
responsibility is to the public welfare.
Professional Practice and Ethics
8. 2- Architects shall approve only those designs that safeguard
the life, health, welfare and property of the public while
conforming to accepted professional standards.
Professional Practice and Ethics
9. 3. If an architect’s professional judgment is overruled resulting in
danger to the life, health, welfare or property of the public,
the architect shall notify his/her employer or client and any
authority that may be appropriate.
Professional Practice and Ethics
10. 4. Architects shall be objective and truthful in professional
reports, statements, or testimonies and provide all pertinent
supporting information relating to such reports, statements,
or testimonies.
Professional Practice and Ethics
11. 5. Architects shall not express a professional opinion publicly
unless it is based upon knowledge of the facts and a
competent evaluation of the subject matter.
Professional Practice and Ethics
12. 6. Architects shall not express a professional opinion on
subject matters for which they are motivated or paid,
unless they explicitly identify the parties on whose
behalf they are expressing the opinion, and reveal the
interest the parties have in the matters. This is to avoid
bribery, dishonesty, and slant in the business.
Professional Practice and Ethics
13. 7. Architects shall not associate in business ventures with nor
permit their names or their firms' names to be used by
any person or firm which is engaging in dishonest,
fraudulent, or illegal business practice.
Professional Practice and Ethics
14. 8. Architects who have knowledge of a possible violation of
any of the rules shall provide pertinent information and
assist in reaching a final determination of the possible
violation.
Our foremost obligation is to the public welfare.
Professional Practice and Ethics
15. By applying the codes of ethics, an architect earns
the trust and respect of his clients and employer.
ARCHITECT
16. 1. Architects shall not undertake technical assignments for which
they are not qualified by education or experience. This would be
unfair, since the quality of the work would be inferior.
Professional Practice and Ethics
17. 2. Architects shall approve or seal only those plans or designs that
deal with subjects in which they are competent and which have
been prepared under their direct control and supervision.
Professional Practice and Ethics
18. 3. Architects may coordinate an entire project provided that
each design component is signed or sealed by the
specialist responsible for that design component.
Professional Practice and Ethics Division
19. 4. Architects shall not reveal professional information without
the prior consent of the employer or client except as
authorized or required by law.
Such "professional information" does not belong to the
architect, but rather to the client or employer.
Thus, disclosure of this information would be like giving
away something that does not belong to you.
Professional Practice and Ethics Division
20. 5. Architects shall not solicit or accept valuable
considerations, financial or otherwise, directly or
indirectly, from contractors, their agents, or other parties
while performing work for employers or clients. This is
commonly known as bribery or conflict of interest.
Professional Practice and Ethics
21. 6. Architects shall disclose to their employers or clients
potential conflicts of interest or any other circumstances
that could influence or appear to influence their
professional judgment or the quality of their service.
Professional Practice and Ethics
22. 7. An architect shall not accept financial or other
compensation from more than one party for
services rendered on one project unless the
details are fully disclosed and agreed to by all
parties concerned. This would be an obvious
case of conflict of interest.

• Ethics: From Building to Architecture
• In the video, Henry Cobb, FAIA; Carl Sapers,
Hon. AIA; and Mack Scogin, FAIA; discuss
ethics, as applied to architectural practice in
the broadest sense.
• Cobb immediately takes ethics beyond the
architect, to the building: “For me, the issue of
ethics in architecture is not primarily about
practice; it is about what I call 'the voice of
architect,' the way that buildings speak.”
• https://youtu.be/xthJKWOErVU
29
30. • Legally, Architects are required to perform
in a manner consistent with that of other
competent professionals practicing in the
same jurisdiction under similar
circumstances.
• Anything less may constitute negligence,
for which the professional can he held
personally liable and be penalized.
INTRODUCTION
31. 1. The obligation to achieve results
Not performed unless the result is achieved.
Thus, an obligation to construct a building is not
performed unless the building is constructed.
2. The obligation to exercise care or make
an effort
Is performed by exercising such care or making
such effort even if the result is not achieved.
Thus, a doctor is required to make an effort in
curing his patient. He is considered to have
performed if he exercises the care and makes
the effort usually required by the reasonable
person of his profession. But he is not considered
to have breached his obligation if the result of his
effort is not achieved.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
32. • Because design professionals can be held
personally liable for their own negligence
(errors and omissions), they should
purchase liability insurance.
• Premiums of such insurance policies
depend on several variables including the
discipline(s) being insured, the types of
clients, projects, services offered, and the
amount of deductible.
• In some cases, design firms may buy
insurance for a single project. This can be
appropriate for unusual projects or projects
needing higher than normal coverage.
PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE
33. • The following can substantially reduce the
potential for liability claims and/or the
likelihood that such claims will result in the
award of damages:
• Preparing sound written agreements
• Developing good personal relationships with
clients and contractors (people are far less
likely to sue people they like and respect)
• Maintaining clear and regular written
communication with clients, consultants, and
contractors
• Addressing problems proactively when they
arise
• Managing risk in client selection, fee
negotiation, and project design and execution.
PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE
34. • In general, a professional is obliged to act
ethically.
• A professional’s ethical responsibility usually
go beyond the legal.
ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES
35. • The following are the rules of the AIA 2012
Code of Ethics and professional Conduct,
as a guideline:
I. General Obligations
II. Obligations to the Public
III. Obligations to the Client
IV. Obligations to the Profession
V. Obligations to Colleagues
VI. Obligation to the Environment
35
36. The code of ethics provides members with
guidelines and rules for fulfilling their obligations
to the public, clients and users of architecture,
the profession, their professional colleagues,
the building industry, and the base knowledge
on which the practice of architecture rests.
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
37. The code is arranged in three tiers:
1. CANONS: Broad principles of conduct to the
discipline, the public, the client, the profession, and
professional colleagues.
2. ETHICAL STANDARDS: More specific goals
toward which members should aspire in professional
practice and conduct.
3. RULES OF CONDUCT: Implement the canons
and the ethical standards. The canons and ethical
standards are stated in aspirational terms; the rules are
mandatory and describe the "floor" below which a
member's actions may not fall.
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
