Architecture and Ethics



MDC Director Thomas Fisher was quoted in an article in Architectural Digest on the ethics of the growing inequality in the U.S. and the dilemma this presents to designers, who may care about that issue, but who depend upon the wealthy for commissions. The author of the piece, Meaghan O'Neill, asked about the impact of Donald Trump on the design industry, and Fisher responded that: "We’re in an era—in part because of Trump—that has brought ethics to the forefront again.” Fisher has written two books about architecture and ethics and he will have a third book on the subject coming out in early 2019, published by Routledge.
