CAU/BR recently launched the book Commentary on the Code of Ethics and Discipline of the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Brazil, which helps clarify professional conduct issues based on the Code of Ethics and Discipline for Architects and Urbanists, also published by the council.
The 384-page volume is filled with commentary that clarifies and contextualizes the Obligations and Rules set forth in the original document, providing a foundation for resolving ethical issues. Violations of these guidelines can lead to sanctions, including fines, public warnings, and even the loss of professional registration.
The book was produced by the National Council and written by architect and urbanist João Honorio de Mello Filho, who was also responsible for the initial document that systematized the Code of Ethics, approved in September 2013.
