Abstract

Abstract 2019 was the year of the declaration – from Culture Declares to Architects Declare to Architecture Education Declares – a landmark moment when architects pledged to confront climate emergency. In this paper I step back to reflect on the ethical dimensions of public declarations in architecture, from the institutional to individual, to consider their role in negotiating ethical concerns. This is explored through three paths: reviewing the ethical know-what of contemporary codes of conduct of built environment professional bodies, examining the ethical know-how required to negotiate ethical dilemmas in practice, and reconsidering the history of architectural manifestoes that explicate an ethical why-now. I draw from the work of Jane Rendell’s Bartlett Ethics Commission and draw inspiration from Sumayya Vally and Huda Tayob et al.’s An Inventory of Feminist Upheaval to illustrate how, at a time of climate breakdown and systemic social injustices, architects must practice collectivity and intersectionality to unsettle conventions and complacencies.

为什么是现在:建筑宣言的道德行为

摘要2019年是宣言的一年——从文化宣言到建筑师宣言再到建筑教育宣言——建筑师承诺应对气候紧急情况的里程碑式时刻。在这篇论文中，我回顾了建筑中公开声明的伦理层面，从制度到个人，以考虑它们在协商伦理问题中的作用。这是通过三条路径来探索的：回顾建筑环境专业机构的当代行为准则的伦理知识，研究在实践中解决伦理困境所需的伦理知识；以及重新思考建筑宣言的历史，这些宣言解释了现在的伦理原因。我借鉴了简·伦德尔（Jane Rendell）的巴特利特道德委员会（Bartlett Ethics Commission）的工作，并从苏梅亚·瓦利（Sumayya Vally）和胡达·塔约布（Huda Tayob。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
