This collection focuses on the revolutionary philosophy of Archeworks: ethics is embedded in all architecture and design and all architecture and design should serve a social good. Stanley Tigerman and Eva Maddox, the cofounders of Archeworks and its postgraduate educational program, embodied this philosophy in their teaching and work. Through action learning, students further developed this philosophy, which is found in their descriptions of the topics they perused at Archeworks. Although Archeworks closed in 2015, the revolutionary nature of its founders and their thinking lives on today, not simply in the United States but also around the globe as demonstrated in the final chapter of the book.
