Lecture Course, Lecture Transcript

Discusses the two possible attitudes to create and reintroduce organic unity and functional adequacy in the environment in a currently defective pattern: One that patterns are archaic and specific to the culture within which they are used, and the notion of patterns needs to be scraped, and the other attitude is the reintroduction of a pattern language and actually make it work. Examples are given.
