DEON de•on•tol•o•gism [dee-on-tol-uh-jiz-uh m] noun
the doctrine of ethics concerned with duty, moral obligation, and right action
The context within which we study or practice the endeavor of architecture is resolutely subject to an ever-fluctuating global landscape. Advances in technology, evolving sociocultural customs, and shifting perspectives on philosophy and theology are all leading to an utterly entropic system spurred on by a
humanity that is obsessed with constantly reinventing itself. It seems, then, impossible for us unify our modus operandi in an increasingly tempestuous world. How do we cope? What possible thoughts or actions can we employ to bring even a modicum of peace to our world? If anything, it is the
virtue of our intentions that ultimately defines our inimitable purpose. Our charge is that of preserving humanity, sheltering it from the irrepressible, indestructible, and inevitable, in the hopes that it may realize that it is indeed as remarkable as the glorious world within which is exists and the kingdom that it seeks to create.
