Title
Material knowledge and cultural values
Author
Abstract
This essay addresses the cultural and contextual values that are materialized in works of architecture, exploring what object-oriented philosophies may hold for architecture thinking. Addressing the weakly defined relation between ethical positions and their corresponding aesthetic materialization, this essay shows how the ethical domain becomes explicitly articulated in form. Historically, many (early) modern writings have conflated moral and aesthetic concerns; is a productive relationship between aesthetics and values still conceivable? Normative positions are explored from the implicit preferencing of craft to the ideological prioritizing of space to show where ethical positions are both clearly defined as ideas and loosely delineated to provide allowances in their realization.
