Résumé:

"The essays in [book title] explore the question of how ethical ideas guiding the design process--a concern for the environment or for social justice--relate to the beauty of our buildings, cities, and artworks. The book presents a range of viewpoints and does not ignore the perils of associating ethics and aesthetics. Yet the majority of contributiors--among them historians and theorists, as well as practicing designers and artists--argue passionately in defense of the idea that the good and the beautiful can and should be able to find a common ground in the design disciplines."--Back cover.
