are we private artists or public servants?

the architect faces a core ethical split: is our ultimate client the patron or the public? we debate the burden of creating architecture when the commission comes from a wealthy, private client, particularly when their demand for an extravagant or resource-intensive project directly conflicts with principles of equity and environmental accountability. we ask where the line falls between professional commitment to a private contract and the wider moral duty to design a responsible and equitable built environment.
