| A logical, rational world-view
Absolute
Looks for universal,
prototypical solutions
Mass-produced/ modula
Expresses faith in progres
Future-oriented
Believes in the control of nature
Romanticizes technology
People adapting to machines
Geometric organization of form
(sharp, precise, and edges)
The box as metaphor
(rectilinear, precise, contained)
Artificial materials
Ostensibly slick
Needs to be well-maintained
Is intolerant of ambiguity and contradiction
Everlasting | An intuitive world-view
Relative
Looks for personal,
idiosyncratic solutions
One-of-a-kind/variable
There is no progress
Present-oriented
Believes in the fundamental uncontrollability of nature
Romanticizes nature
People adapting to nature
Organic organization of form
(soft, vague shapes and edges)
The bowl as metaphor
(free shape, open at top)
Natural materials
Ostensibly crude
Accommodates to degradation and attrition
Is comfortable with ambiguity and contradiction
To every thing there is a season |
