This beautifully compact book - the combined discourse of a moral
philosopher and an architect - provides us with a parti pris for
contemplating the often contradictory interplay of ethics and
aesthetics in the generation and perception of architectural form.
The authors jointly acknowledge the challenges poised by the
conflict between raw instrumentality and the nuances of
environmental culture. In so doing they identify six ethical
categories which have the capacity to impact fundamental issues
pertaining to the genesis of built form and, similarly, a set of
values with regard to function, context, time and intellect, which
we may discern either together or separately in our reception of
architecture.
