    Academic discourse around architecture and sustainability has often polarized debates between local vs global and tradition vs technology without finding common ground. Aesthetics plays a role in social, ecological, cultural and economic well-being, but it is unclear if a single unified theory is possible given the diversity of societies and landscapes. This document calls for interdisciplinary discussion on the aesthetics of sustainability to create shared understanding and ethics for long-term sustainability, informed by different social and creative practices. It aims to help architectural education through new paradigms by allowing different disciplinary lenses on the theme.

    Aesthetics of Sustainability

    Contemporary architectural practice is situated in a complex flux of global and


    local market forces and this has reflected in the academic discourse relating to
    architecture and sustainability . Academic discourse with its debate centred on
    the dichotomies of : the local – global and tradition – technology , has often taken
    highly polarised positions without creating a middle ground.
    Aesthetics plays an active role in the social , ecological , cultural and economic
    well being of a society. Is a cohesive theorization of aesthetics possible ? Or are
    we in better off with a multitude of perspectives which are seemingly distinct? As
    we address a large pluralistic society which has grown amidst an enormous
    diversity of ecological and cultural landscapes, it seems clear that the complexity
    of the problem can’t solely be addressed from within the profession .
    The theme calls outs for interdisciplinary deliberations on aesthetics of
    Sustainability. It aims to create a common ground for building ideas and ethics
    for long term sustainability , a common knowledge base on meaningful aesthetics
    informed by diverse social and creative practices .The participants were allowed
    to see the theme through different disciplinary and methodological lenses which
    included General aesthetic theory, Architectural / Art theory , Sustainable practice
    and theory and Critical Theory. The section is envisioned to help architectural
    education through new aesthetic paradigms and new entry points into
    interdisciplinary research.
