Key words: Ethics,- Architectural Technology,- Space Recreation, Islamic Architecture Ethics and its quiddity Ethics is considered relative by some people but absolute to some group of persons. 1 “Ethics means carnal characteristics of human including the virtues and vices." (Motahari, 2008, p. 7) A moral based person has ethical character "." It means what causes doing a moral act in certain situations, such as generosity and lying, unconsciously and conditionally". (Motahari, Introduction to the Islamic Sciences, 2007, p. 46) In general, the fundamental issues of morality are described as follows: "Right and wrong doings, to distinguish between good and evil or recognize virtues". (Vafamehr, 2010, p. 2) Ethics in religious affairs refers to mood, states and qualities obtained in oneself which give certain features, good or bad, to society and the individual. "Islamic ethics is considered as strong sensual mood in oneself while Islamic Moral Ethics are considered as necessities of life in a prosperous society regardless of the religious aspect". (Sadaat, 1989, p. 32) In the same regard, it is said that خلقا احسنکم ایماناکم ا اکلم(whoever that is better in ethics, his faith is more complete). (Imam Reza (AS)( Ethics and values are closely related and ethics seen as a means to make values performable. Ethics is divided into three subgroups. : Ethics philosophy, theoretical ethics, and practical ethics. (Abed, 2006) Architecture has a direct impact on the spirit and culture of the people and the community due to its special nature and multifaceted relationship and impact of environment and space designed by the architect. Therefore, architecture is considered as the most basic and engaged occupations related to ethics concepts. (Vafamehr, 2010, p. 4) Ethics is rooted in all human actions and thoughts and therefore its impact on the architectural principles can be observed at any point. 1 Relative: Some Like Hegel, Sartre, Roger Benedict and others. Absolute: philosophers like Plato, Kant and others. (Motahari, Principles of Education, 1993)
