Abstract
The nature of building(s) and people’s attitudes towards them are determined by two types of factors: and among the latter, ethical predicates are probably the environmental cultural. most influential; not only because they determine how buildings are evaluated by people, but also because they form the basic precepts through which professionals act in designing and constructing them, and through which resources are allocated in competition with other socio-economic needs.
