Architect's Act 1972 of India, Registration of Architects, Practise of Architecture, Standards of Education & traning of an Architect, Council of Architecture
Professional ethics codes provide guidelines for architects to fulfill their obligations to the public, clients, profession, and colleagues. They establish principles like honesty, integrity, competence, avoiding conflicts of interest, and prioritizing public safety over personal interests. Problems involving dishonesty, unreviewed work, unfair bidding practices, and retaliation against critics can violate these principles. The codes help architects maintain trust and respect from stakeholders.
Architects are responsible for providing oversight during construction projects through site visits and meetings. They issue instructions to contractors to coordinate work, remedy issues, and authorize changes. Contractors must comply with written instructions from architects, but can object if they believe an instruction is invalid. Instructions may require variations that warrant cost estimates. Proper documentation of instructions helps avoid disputes over contractor responsibilities.

Christopher Alexander was an influential architect, design theorist, and emeritus professor known for his works on architectural patterns and the nature of order in built environments. He was born in Vienna, Austria and received degrees from Cambridge University and Harvard University. Alexander authored several seminal books on architecture and design and designed over 100 buildings. His philosophy focused on creating living structures through 15 properties including strong centers, boundaries, graded variation, and inner calm. He argued cities develop in a more organic "lattice" structure than a compartmentalized "tree" structure and should allow for mixed functions and connectivity between areas.
U.P. Apartment (Promotion of Construction, Ownership and Maintenance) Act 2010Subodh Shankar
As of now majority of housing in urban India is being built in the form of multi storied Apartments or Flats.
