Seminar description
The very thinking or discussion of ethics can be uncomfortable, nestled in a grey zone of uncertainty and ambiguity, often without clear-cut answers. In this presentation, we will keep you in that grey zone, likely raising more questions than answers, but perhaps evolving your own perceptions into lighter shades of grey. Starting in the medieval period to the present, we will trace the evolution of ethical practice within the built environment — design and construction — bringing history to bear on present ethical thinking with a focus on ethics as a risk proposition, using a case study format. Finally, we will briefly look at what ethical thinking within our professions might become in the future.Learning objectives
