ABSTRACT
Architects all have colleagues, people who share the same education and assumptions about the discipline. As a result, collegiality and a generosity toward others underpin not only architecture, but also ethics, providing a core value in how we treat others – our peers as well as our fellow employees. Architects deal with that issue every day not only in their practice, but also in their buildings, which must accommodate a diversity of people and activities and as such, model a way of acting in our personal and professional lives as well, where we give others the benefit of the doubt and remain open to understanding their perspective in an on-going conversation about what particular situations and settings demand.
