I would argue that morality takes many forms and one element is perseverance against the established norms.

Desire is also quite a nuanced terminology. My own view is the glamorous culture of awards and competitions is far removed from the on the ground reality of what we build.

Desire can be a catalyst. I remember visiting Mira Flores in Lima
, which to "North Western Eyes" is a modern shopping district but to Peruvian's I spoke with it represents a desire to be modern and free from poverty or perceived backwardness.

Personally the Architecture I love is embedded in the existing context and culture.

Corporate or Commercial Developments often offer the promise of a brave new world while removing the far more interesting and complex reality.
