Structure and Coincidence – Two-components Approach – Participation
In the 1960s the structuralists criticised the narrowness of the functional principle "Form Follows Function". In historic cities they found solutions for a new form principle: an interpretable, adaptable and expandable architecture, see below Historic Cities II. In the magazine Forum they developed ideas about "polyvalent form and individual interpretations", "reciprocity of form" and "participation". In our time the notion "open structures" is also used in discussions.

Famous quotes containing the words structure, coincidence and/or approach:

“... there was the first Balkan war and the second Balkan war and then there was the first world war. It is extraordinary how having done a thing once you have to do it again, there is the pleasure of coincidence and there is the pleasure of repetition, and so there is the second world war, and in between there was the Abyssinian war and the Spanish civil war.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.”
