Ethics, art and architecture

This segment of our workshop was to make us clear about the ethics in art and architecture. We were given a clear idea about our proper attitude to work. Though it was really very difficult to understand this topic for me, but I tried to give my best attention to this topic. Ethics is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address questions about morality. The joint study of architecture and ethics involves the critical examination of norms of human habitation. It recognizes and “problematizes” the social, political, and personal character of architecture and design. Environment is a material and ideational membrane between our inner and outer selves. It impacts on self-identity, autonomy, and underlies aspects of personal character, integrity and social responsibility—all concepts readily recognized
within philosophical discourse. In architectural terms autonomy is seen to
involve the manipulation of spaces, while in philosophical terms it is seen as
necessary for assuming an ethical stance, and so partly constitutive of a moral
self. But the architectural sense of autonomy can be and often is related to the
philosophical.

For me art, architecture may have some sort of common ethics, and as a student of architecture we must understand the implications of the ethical norms to develop appropriate attitude.
