Abstract
This research explores the ethical considerations in architecture related to sustainable technologies, focusing on their integration with architectural practice. It identifies the research problem as the limited cognitive perception of ethical roles in sustainable architecture amidst technological advancements. The study aims to clarify both deep and superficial ethical structures in sustainable architectural practice under the use of sustainable technologies. The hypothesis posits that these ethical considerations, alongside their material and intellectual principles, significantly influence architectural outcomes. To address this, a conceptual framework was developed based on previous studies, which outlines two key indicators: deep and superficial ethical structures of technological sustainability. These indicators were applied to selected projects to assess their impact on architectural outcomes and establish guidelines for regulating ethical considerations in sustainable architectural production.
