Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): Edward Becker
Despite centuries of architectural design, writing, and discourse, the discipline of architecture continues its laborious search for origin through the discipline’s most closely held ideals and syntax – that of form, structure, materiality, ornament, and other signifiers. As the search for a more pure and arguably more ethical architecture of origins has recently gained a greater prominence in contemporary discourse – as evidenced by various exhibits at the 2017-2018 Chicago Architecture Biennial and the selection of work included in the recent Inscriptions exhibit at the Harvard GSD – one must question how the built environment of the everyday has strayed so far from the cultural and ethical imperatives that reside at architecture’s core?
