This session will introduce a recent publication exploring ethics in architectural practice - covering its background, development and aims and objectives. The authors will guide you through the structure and rationale of the book, introducing the framework it uses to explore ethical duties, ethical thinking and ethical reasoning. They will also discuss and probe various resources, tools and techniques which can be used by architects when navigating the ethical dilemmas and challenges of everyday practice. This is not a 'how to' session or text, but rather a source of information and guidance aimed at both upskilling architects and at provoking discussion within the broader industry. Having completed the webinar, participants will earn a discount code to purchase the book discussed at a special discount price from RIBA Books (the code is valid until 31 December 2023).
