Architecture and its Ethical Dilemmas Nicholas Ray
Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Architecture is a powerful skill yet it is not harnessed to grapple with environmental, ecological or ethical issues. Is a big investment project in society. The architects invited by MAD architects. It is a lovely document, subtle and interrogative, If health, as the much-derided World Health Organization definition states, is a condition of complete mental and physical wellbeing, then it is difficult to imagine what couldn't come into its purview. The purpose of a piece of architecture is intrinsically linked to the set of human purposes it supports and these human purposes are themselves undecidable: any analysis of architecture will therefore always have an unresolvable gap at its centre which can only be met by design. Coal-hearted questions and the ethical dilemma of boards. Phenomenology as a philosophical discipline, offers a theoretical base for architectural design practice regarding human movement and sensory experiences (Hopsch & Cesario 2011) as well as social and ethical issues (McCann 2011). "This urban experiment is not intended as an idealized urban reality, but as an attempt to push these trends to their purest forms, with all of the benefits and problems that this brings."

Indeed it is always the undecidable parts of architectural dilemmas where design takes place. What is the role of a board when their agency has a public role or responsibility, and when their actions have profound public consequences? My particular research interest is in the ethical dilemma of designing for others when there is no 'right' solution. It is therefore important to develop new design tools for physical urban spaces used by people in their daily practice when using different transport modes.
