Funded Activity Summary
Philosophical Foundations of Architectural Discourse. Philosophy is involved with architectural theory and practice morally as well as aesthetically. This project examines 'integrity,' 'identity' and 'character' as concepts arising out of concerns with value and commitment in moral philosophy and architecture. Rather than ethics pasted on to a profession, it discusses ways in which moral philosophy and architecture inform one another by analysing ways in which moral concepts ramify architectural practice. This project seeks to establish the foundations of a new discipline. Research will explore how architectural language - references to coherency and enclosure, planning and the designed whole - is implicit in philosophical concerns for moral integrity. This project aims to construct new ways of thinking through design, that is, to consider norms of human habitation more critically.Funded Activity Details
