The symposium “Ethics and the Built Environment” aims to gain deeper understanding of the relationship between ethics and the built environment, especially within the rapid pace of cultural and technological production, agricultural challenges, and climate change in our contemporary world; to promote the consideration of ethics in the production of the built environment; to initiate and sustain a dialogue between the fields of arts, humanities, and sciences on this common ground, thus providing a more holistic understanding of the subject; and to encourage the influence of humanities discourses in the scientific fields.
