Abstract :
Explanation of Islamic ethics in the process of architectural design and production Abstract Architects consciously occupy and develop the human habitat in the natural environment with their creations. Therefore, ignoring ethics and moral values in architecture can have extensive human and environmental consequences. Ethics studies human actions from the perspective of their rightness or wrongness in achieving ultimate human happiness. Islamic ethical principles invite humans to build and inhabit the earth while rejecting any human and environmental harm. Accordingly, this research seeks to explain the do's and don'ts of Islamic ethics governing the activities of architects in the process of architectural design and production, considering the key role of Islamic ethical teachings in the progress and promotion of architects' ethical behavior. The research method is based on logical reasoning and library and document research has been used to gather information. Ethical data has been extracted from Islamic scriptures, narrations, and the books of Islamic scholars for research purposes, and analysis and explanation of this data has been carried out in the process of architectural design and production. The main activity of architects in Iran is carried out within the framework of the engineering system structure and in the areas of design, supervision, and implementation. Reviewing research literature in the field of professional ethics in contemporary architecture in Iran indicates a disregard for ethical values among all those involved in the design and production process of architecture. Therefore, ethical action in architecture and adherence to ethical principles in construction is contingent upon the ethical behavior of all participants in the design and construction process, including architects, clients, consultants, and contractors. According to the findings of this study, the most important ethical principles related to the actions of architects are seven principles (humility, commitment and responsibility, honesty, cooperation, contentment, respect for the general public, and respect for nature) extracted from relevant sources. The application of these principles in the design and production process of architecture can be a step towards negating various human and environmental harms. Proper and principled development of nature is essential due to various environmental hazards and the artificial development of the environment due to human occupation and its relationship with human life. A look at the extracted principles shows that these principles can be categorized into three levels of responsibility: a) towards clients and users, b) towards society, and c) towards nature. The application of Islamic ethical principles in personal and collective life and professional environments can pave the way for the happiness and perfection of the architectural profession, and adherence to these principles in the design and production process of architecture can ensure the responsibility of architects towards clients and users, the general public, and nature.
