Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms |
Means and Ends
A project presupposes the planner.
For a reality that from the onset
has no planner, the notion of developing projects is an empty
notion. Chances are the first project coincided with the debut
of life. Life is a self-planning event, that is , it is full
of projects.
In terms of procedures and scheduling,
it seems that the proto-human phenemenon produces forms that
by way of mutation-adaptation emerge in conspicuous number.
Those forms "invite" functions. A sort of projectation in
reverse gear. There isn't so much a need generating a form
as it is a form "generating" a need (see the brain). Form
as a solicitor of content long before content seeking form
(container). |
