100406 - informal
My notes from the Cecil Balmond reading:
Informal
The informal contains the unexpected or surprising.
Order is not necessarily hierarchical.
Answers begin at the local level, not the level of the generic whole. Work proceeds outward toward a result.
Solutions stem from simple initial decisions.
Innovation, resisting the expected, requires risk.
Hybrid = one action overlapping another.
There is a difference between ambiguity and confusion.
The Chemnitz Solution
Solutions do not come from a picture of the outcome, but an analysis of the data, constraints or local conditions.
Solutions evolve and are calibrated by performance criteria.
Pose open questions rather than proposing closed answers.
A single design principle can be operative at multiple scales.
Rules that prescribe a simple set of operations can be calibrated to yield complex, unexpected results.
“Seemingly random but structured patterns strike a resonance within us, for our ‘internalisations’ may be built on similar ideas.” (p. 171)
