This paper addresses the issue of ethics in the professional practice of sustainable architecture. What is the architect responsible for, and to whom is s/he responsible? How does the architect make moral decisions when challenged with ethical encounters that ascend both at the level of ‘practice’ and ‘theory’ in the broader space-time framework of architectural realization? The paper designates the value of ethics in the profession nowadays and whether this value is being taken into consid-eration not only theoretically but practically throughout the project’s life cycle. The results of a small questionnaire survey of project managers, architects and building contractors reveal a list of ethical measures to be considered by architects when executing a sustainable project in an urban context in Lebanon. It leaves the reader with an open window of discus-sion on what architects should be aware of during the sustainable practice of this profession. Is the architect practicing ethics in his career or is s/he only restricted to its theoretical measure?
