Philippe d'Anjou

Philippe d'Anjou is a Full Professor at Florida Atlantic University's School of Architecture, teaching design studios, architectural theory, philosophy, and ethics. His research examines existential approaches to design ethics.

He develops frameworks integrating Sartrean philosophy with design practice, emphasizing moral autonomy, authentic client relationships, and sustainable agency. His work critiques traditional duty/virtue ethics and explores how designers navigate freedom and responsibility.

Publications analyze ethical intelligence in urban contexts (e.g., smart cities), the ontological nature of architectural choices, and virtuous design practices. Recent studies investigate the 'impalpable omnipresence' of ethical demands in creative work and adaptive ethical discourse.
