Add your own review!

Overview

This book describes and accounts for new opportunities for ethical reflection in architecture and adjacent design practices. Bringing together the reflections of an architectural theorist and a philosopher, it explores the possibilities for ethical speculation across their disciplines and respective concerns, aiming for a rapprochement, rather than merger between them.
