Abstract
What are the basic issues of responsible building? This chapter addresses that question by analyzing not only the codes and conduct necessary to produce buildings of “commodity, firmness, and delight,” but also buildings that speak their site and surroundings. Ethics building is simply good design in the abstract, but appropriate and perhaps even harmonious design—or, when thought possible and necessary, design that is disharmonious to good effect.
