A cast of leading writers and practitioners tackle the ethical
questions that architects are increasingly facing 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 provides an
accumulation of diverse opinions, focusing on architects' actions
and products that materially affect the lives of people in all
urbanized societies.
