Summary:

"What makes a good building or a good architect? Are there limits to an architect's ethical or legal responsibilities in a building process where architecture plays an increasingly smaller role? Is preservation a moral imperative? What happens when building codes and professional responsibilities are in conflict? How do architects begin to craft a new design ethic to carry them into the new century?" "In this book Tom Spector addresses the dilemmas of architectural practice and offers a theoretical and practical basis for an examination and transformation of the quandaries the profession now faces. The Ethical Architect is a work of theory but refers to real buildings and real-world problems. Its conclusions provide a road map for architects to address the more than 100,000 decisions that go into the design of an average-sized building. Spector's call-to-arms for his profession is a must-read for practicing architects and students alike."--BOOK JACKET.
