| Description
| The main purpose of this course is to keep students from thinking architecture solely as an economic or aesthetic problem. Given the fact that this discipline exercises huge impacts on lives as well as built and natural environments, each question must be examined in terms of what is morally right or wrong at the same time. The progression of this semester will be structured by topics in environmental ethics and divided into three parts: A. Basic concepts, B. Environmental ethics as applied ethics, and C. Theories of environmental ethics. Meanwhile, different moral dilemmas architects encounter generally in professional practice will be regularly proposed and discussed in class, to prepare students for ethical difficulties they will come across at work and enhance their sense of responsibility.
