Great architecture is judged on material reality, not the ethics of those that are creating it, says Sean Griffiths. What is the relationship between ethics and aesthetics? Some believe that the social conditions under which a work of architecture is created are intrinsically embedded in its material reality and hence form part of its meaning.
