Inspired Buildings Will Inspire People?

This OECD working paper describes how a recently completed primary school in Cherry Orchard illustrates how architecture can contribute to creating a safe and warm environment in a difficult area and can meet the particular needs of the student community.

Architect’s works have such an impact on the way people behave that the development of a new field devoted to the analysis of problems associated with this impact is emerging, as described in this paper, Ethics versus Aesthetics in Architecture (Lagueux, 2004).
