Descripción
Sumario:Architects are increasingly facing ethical questions in their work, from practical considerations in construction to the wider social context of buildings, their appearance, use and place in the narrative of the environment. This book gives an account of these ethical questions from the perspectives of historical architectural practice, philosophy, and business, and examines the implications of such dilemmas. Taking the current discussion of ethics in architecture on to a new stage, this volume fills a void of accumulating diverse opinions, focusing a wider field of interest on those actions and products of architects that materially affect the lives of people in all urbanized societies.
