Ethics for Architects

50 Dilemmas of Professional Practice

Thomas Fisher

Series: Architecture Briefs

In Ethics for Architects, Thomas Fisher presents 50 case studies representing a broad range of ethical dilemmas facing today’s architects, from questions regarding which clients to work for, to the moral imperatives of reclaiming building materials for construction instead of sending them to landfills.

This timely book features newly relevant interpretations adapted to the pervasive demands of globalization, sustainability, and developments in information technology. Fisher’s analysis of architecture’s thorniest ethical issues are written in a style that is accessible to the amateur philosopher and appealing to professional architects and students alike. Thought-provoking and essential, Ethics for Architects is required reading for any designer who wants to work responsibly in today’s complex world.
