ABSTRACT
Architecture is fundamentally ethical. While clients and communities commission architects for many different reasons, all do so because they want something better than what they have now: more space, rearranged space, upgraded space, new space. And in addressing those needs, every architect confronts the question of what that client or community aspires to, how they see themselves, and what they want for their future. Here, architecture shares with ethics a core question: What constitutes a good life and how should we achieve it?
