The pressing economic, environmental and social crises emanate the
need for a redefinition of the dominant views, perspectives and
values in the field of architecture. The intellectual production of
the last two decades has witnessed an impressive number of new
design techniques and conceptual displacements reflecting the
dynamic and fluid relation between man and his dwelling space.
However, the contemporary market forces are favouring the growth of
a star-system in architectural production based on technological
innovation, spectacular imagery and formal acrobatics, and are
neglecting the social, environmental and moral implications of
spatial design. Perhaps the time has come to think anew the
possible critical intersections between space and ethos, not only
as an answer to the negative consequences of Modernity, but also as
a remedy to the negative aspects of globalisation. The aim of the
present collective volume is to enliven the ethical dimensions and
dilemmas of architecture as they are shaped within the complexity
of our times on two levels: the level of critical and reflective
discourse and the level of social and cultural reality occasioned
by post-industrial modes of production and new technologies.
Thirteen distinguished academics and researchers investigate the
complex relations between architecture, space and ethics from
divergent and inter-disciplinary perspectives: philosophy,
sociology, the humanities, the arts, landscape design,
environmental design, urban design and architectural history and
theory.
