Tom Fisher & ethics in architecture

  • 1.  Tom Fisher & ethics in architecture

    Posted 06-14-2019 09:20 AM

    "I don't think the architecture profession has yet had its 'come to Jesus' moment on climate change and how to respond ethically."

    This is from Tom Fisher, in a conversation with Michael Crostbie about Fisher's new book, The Architecture of Ethics. I can't imagine a more important topic right now for thinking humans in in the AEC industry. Unsurprisingly, we find this in Common Edge, which is a both a treasure and a relief in our media landscape.
