1.2 Secondly, we also know from my bibliography:—
- …that the question Cedric asked in 2003 – “what is the value of it now – what is useful about it now for you?'” – suggests the ‘Thinkbelt now‘ may be defined as:—
something time-limited of possible value and usefulness. [2]
- …that ‘architecture‘ has been defined by Cedric Price as:—
that which, through a natural distortion of time, place and interval, creates beneficial social conditions that hitherto were considered impossible. [3]
- …that ‘complexity‘ has been redefined by Roy Landau as:—
even the term complexity itself, which belongs to a static, state-describing vocabulary, needs to be supplemented, if not yet supplanted, by a dynamic process-describing equivalent as implied in the term complexing. [4]
Thus the Dukeries Thinkbelt study focuses on the relationship between ‘architecture‘ and ‘complexity‘ within the context of the ‘Thinkbelt now‘.
