Provide a 8 pages analysis while answering the following question: Aesthetics of Architecture: An Ethical Dilemma of the Industrial Age. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The question is, is there any ethical justification for worshipping, or condemning, the aesthetic quality of architecture? This is the concern that will be discussed in this paper. It will out emphasis on ethical arguments about the aesthetics of architecture. There are obviously ethical arguments on non-aesthetic qualities of the building, such as the economic and social developments of creating buildings, such as what types of the building should be erected and for whom, the environmental impact of buildings, and others.&nbsp.

Initially, the logical response to this aesthetic concern appears clearly a ‘yes’, at least with regard to a number of buildings. for instance, Auschwitz. According to Jan van Pelt and Dwork (1996), some individuals designed the buildings of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Definitely, then, these buildings were ethically erroneous.

Yet this exceptional and obviously evident case underlines the difficulty of applying directly ethical criticisms at the aesthetic outline of buildings. There are two dilemmas. Primarily, is it right to hold accountable the buildings of Auschwitz for the dreadful things that took place in and around them? Certainly, such criticism overlooks its right target. the moral criticism should fairly be blamed at the people who mobilized and executed mass slaughter at Auschwitz. In simple terms, moral criticism accepts moral agency and hence is merely appropriately applied to people and their conduct or behavior, not to lifeless objects such as buildings. To be certain, ethical criticism of the significant individuals might involve those who participated in designing the buildings of Auschwitz but remember again, the criticism is hauled at those people, not the inanimate buildings as such (ibid). As for the lifeless objects which buildings belong to, their moral blamelessness is manifested by the reality that a building erected for a wicked objective, such as a dungeon, might be eventually used for a noble purpose, such as an exposition of space or a chapel, and others.
