Morality And Architecture by David Watkin
The Development of a Theme in Architectural History and Theory from the Gothic Revival to the Modern Movement
This insightful work critiques the prevailing notion that architecture should be judged through the lens of moral or social progress. It challenges the modernist perspective that equates architectural innovation with ethical superiority, arguing instead for a more nuanced understanding of architectural history and aesthetics. By examining the writings and philosophies of influential figures in the field, the book advocates for an appreciation of architectural diversity and the recognition of beauty and form as independent from moral imperatives.
