A New Vision of Architecture
" In this new view of order we shall find,necessarily,
a post-Cartesian and non-mechanistic idea of what kinds
of statements can be true, a theory in which statements
about relative degree of harmony, or life, or wholeness -
basic aspects of order - are understood as potentially
true of false.
....
The new view will show us the world as an altogether
different kind of place from the one we have imagined.
....
We shall then literally, be living in a different
mental universe.
To make good architecture we must fundamentally alter
our idea about the nature of order - about the kind of
thing it is."
