Reviews

Ethics in Architecture is a timely reminder of the professional responsibilities of those charged with making the world a better place through their thoughtful interventions in the built environment. * John David, Urban Wildland *


Kingwell does go on to discuss the significance of architecture's relationship to time. He is conscious of the poverty of a relentless demand for speedy novelty, that combines with an equally constant nostalgia the ideology of inevitability that creeps up around technology- an ideology so stealthy and complete, and so intimately related to the very idea of capital, that it is functionally invisible. * Kyle Dugdale, Montreal Architecture Review * Ethics in Architecture is a timely reminder of the professional responsibilities of those charged with making the world a better place through their thoughtful interventions in the built environment. * John David, Urban Wildland *
