What do the professions 'profess'? Comparing architecture and planning codes of ethics
Using concepts from the sociology of professions and institutional theory, we explore the ethical dispositions of the planning and architecture professions over time. We use the relevant codes from their major professional organizations (American Institute of Architects (AIA)) and American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP)) to track what the professions have 'professed' from the 1940s to today. They converge in the 1970s over women's rights, racial inequalities, the environmental movement, and historic preservation. They diverge as planning becomes process-oriented, concentrating on democratic values, long-range thinking, and citizen engagement, while architecture continues its focus on specific projects and the physical environment. There was a time of brief overlap in the professions when AIA codes started mentioning planning and policy matters in its remit, but those themes did not last. The professions could be headed for a clash or a collaboration as the current AICP code now mentions design, which has historically fallen within the AIA's purview.
