Provocative, timely and extensive in scope, Architecture and its
Ethical Dilemmas examines the changing role of architects and the
particular professional dilemmas they face.
Architects and designers are constantly confronted by these ethical
issues ranging from professional issues to more philosophical
questions. Should architects spend some of their clients' money on
features that would improve buildings even if they're not necessary
or part of the clients' design brief? Who is architecture for? As
the products of the architect's work are often in the public domain
and reflect society's values, are architects too merely servants of
society? What place does the professional architect-client
relationship have in the 21st century? Can aesthetics be
disassociated from ethics in a visual medium?
A cast of leading writers and practitioners tackle these questions
from a range of perspectives across architecture, the building and
design industries, social theory and philosophy to contribute to
the growing literature in the sociology of the professions.
