This is ultimately a task with no beginning or end, and fundamentally questionable ethical integrity. As result we are left to question the role of the Architect, both in regard to creative authorship and ethical responsibility. The journals love to advertise dream projects, but these are upper class people with upper class contacts, not the average uni grad. I recently read Karsten Harries' The Ethical Function of Architecture, which follows Sigfried Giedion in arguing that the main task for architecture today is the interpretation of a way of life valid for our time. To cooperate with the Board of Architecture (BOA), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and other government agencies in discharging its functions, duties and responsibilities as the Integrated and Accredited Professional a complaint with the Board of Architecture and/or Professional Regulation Commission for violation of the R.A.

In most cases, the trade association or organization publishes industry guidelines about the legal, ethical, and aesthetics role of their members in the building design process. The early 21st century is a remarkable period in architecture because it features pre-modern historical styles in great variety (Classicism and its many iterations, including Romanesque, Gothic, Victorian, Craftsman, Art Deco, Postmodern) as well as Modernist forms.
