Architecture moral

The Warden theory is noteworthy for its heavy reliance on examples and analogies that have a scientific connotation, such as equations (i.e.. Physical x Moral = Outcome) the enemy system as a human body, or solar system reference to electrons and atoms reliance of architectural metaphors and the use of the concept of centers of gravity. This theory was not the first time in history that such reference had been made. " For example, Clausewitz s theories of friction in war and centers of gravity were identified as being borrowed from the physics of the day. Airpower theory, and the targeting assessments that it spawned, have long had an association, however, tenuous, with scientific terminology.

Much of modern engineering is functional. If it works, then what more is there to do In this paper, additional foundational considerations besides function are suggested for the practice of architecture, including moral, ethical, philosophical, and religious principles. Using John Ruskin as a plumbline, the paper provides examples of modern architecture which embody these principles and suggests ways in which these principles can be incorporated into future architectural projects. 

With a philosophy based on aesthetics, place, and history, Ruskin appeals to a moral architecture, encouraging builders to reject the techniques discovered in the Renaissance and developed in the Industrial Revolution and to embrace a time when the best buildings were constructed—the medieval Gothic cathedrals of England and Venice. In his later book, The Stones of Venice (1851-1853), Ruskin describes the elements of the Gothic that became foundational for the kind of architecture he proposes, and he provides many examples to illustrate. He points out the three virtues of a building (1) That it act well, (2) That it speak well, and (3) That it look well (Ruskin, 1885, vol. 1, ch. 2, sec. 1). 

The book I called The Seven Lamps was to show that certain right states of temper and moral feeling were the magic powers by which all good architecture, without exception, had been produced. The Stones of Venice had, from beginning to end, no other aim than to show that the Gothic architecture of Venice had arisen out of, and indicated in all its features, a state of pure national faith, and of domestic virtue and that its Renaissance architectme had arisen out of, and in all its features indicated, a state of concealed national infidelity, and of domestic corruption. (Ruskin, 1866, p. 53)... 

For Ruskin, moral feeling, states of temperament, and architecture cannot be separated. He sees the moral elements of Gothic as follows (1) savageness, (2) changefulness, (3) natmalism, (4) grotesqueness, (5) rigidity, and (6) redundance.
