Abstract

The terms "sustainable" and "sustainability", applied to society or the economy, remain a little mysterious. In the essay that allows, by relying on the conceptions of John Ruskin and William Morris in particular, he upholds that, rather than being a rational idea, it is the bond between the aesthetic and ethical desires. These can be born of architecture that is both permanent and respectful of the earth and therefore really "sustainable”. An acute and refined vision, which illustrates the well-known Wittgenstein proposition in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus:"Ethics and aesthetics are one."
