Amini Fari · Lannon Richard · Lewis Thomas, A General Theory of Love, New York, Random House, 2000.
[...] Who knows how many scientific revolutions have been missed because their potential inaugurators disregarded the whimsical, the incidental, the inconvenient inside the laboratory? (pp.81)
We think about science and the scientific method as the ultimate bastion of rationality in our quest for Truth, but science isn’t merely reason, science is culture: it’s a poetic and practical sensemaking mechanism for the universe.
In this book, psychiatrists Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini, and Richard Lannon eloquently capture that elusive, often intentionally dismissed, but wildly important aspect of science that embraces intuition and imagination.

Calvino Italo, (1969) The Castle of Crossed Destinies, Translated from the Italian by William Weaver, Harvest/HBJ Book / Helen and Kurt Wolff Book, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Publishers, San Diego – New York – London, 1979, p. 98.
The book shows how a finite number of elements whose combinations are multiplied in a billion: thus a pack of tarot could throw up any number of tales, but then we have how do we tell the stories, is it through the words of the narrator or the pictures on the cards how do we decide where to go when the same card with a different number appears in different stories.

Levertov Denise, ‘statement on poetics’ (Original typescript) for The New American Poetry: 1945–1960 — an influential anthology by Donald Allen, 1960. [courtesy of the Academy of American Poets archives]
Credo che i poeti siano strumenti su cui gioca il potere della poesia. Ma sono anche fabbricanti, artigiani: è dato al vedente di vedere, ma è quindi sua responsabilità comunicare ciò che vede, che quelli che non possono vedere possono vedere, dal momento che siamo "membri l'uno dell'altro". [...] Credo che il contenuto determini la forma, eppure quel contenuto viene scoperto solo nella forma. Come tutto ciò che vive, è un mistero. La rivelazione della forma stessa può essere una gioia profonda; tuttavia penso che la forma come mezzo non debba mai ostruire, sia per intenzione che per negligenza, tra il lettore e la forza essenziale della poesia, deve essere così focalizzata su quella forza.

Moholy-Nagy László, Vision in Motion, Chicago, Paul Theobald, 1947.
Progettare oggi non è solo una professione, ma prima di tutto un atteggiamento. Il design ha molte connotazioni: è l’organizzazione di materiali e processi in modo più produttivo, in un equilibrio armonico di tutti gli elementi necessari per una determinata funzione. E' l’integrazione dei requisiti tecnologici, sociali ed economici, necessità biologiche, ed effetti psicologici di materiali, forma, colore, volume e spazio. Pensando nelle relazioni.
