There is one timeless way of building.
It is thousands of years old, and the same today as it has always been.
The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.
It is not possible to make great buildings, or great towns, beautiful places, places where you feel yourself, places where you feel alive, except by following this way.
And, as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form, as the trees and hills, and as our faces are.

I follow a plant that tweets. Her name is
pothos and she lives in Toronto with Angela, an
information architect. When pothos is thirsty,
she asks for help. Sometimes days pass before the
water comes.
Bruce Sterling once noted, "Futurism
doesn't mean predicting an
awesome wonder; rather it means
recognizing and describing a small
apparent oddity that is destined to
become a great commonplace."

Everything is deeply intertwingled.” Ted Nelson

“Aboriginal Creation myths tell of the legendary totemic beings who had wandered over the continent in the Dreamtime, singing
out the name of everything that crossed their path - birds, animals, plants, rocks, waterholes - and so singing the world into
existence.”

Service Design
The difference between products and services is more than semantic. Products are tangible objects that exist in
both time and space; services consist solely of acts or process(es), and exist in time only.
The basic distinction between ‘things’ and ‘processes’ is the starting point for a focused investigation of services.
Services are rendered; products are possessed.
Services cannot be possessed; they can only be experienced, created or participated in. Though they are
different, services and products are intimately and symbiotically linked.

“Whoever best describes a problem is the person most likely to solve the problem.

• Hybrid between design, engineering, and marketing.
• No definitive formulation.
• Considerable uncertainty.
• Complex interdependencies.
• Incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements.
• Stakeholders have radically different world views.
