Des Espaces Autres(1967)
“Umgekehrt gibt es Heterotopien, die nicht im Modus der Ewigkeit, sondern in dem des Festes mit der Zeit verbunden sind: nicht ewigkeitsorientierte, sondern zeitweilige Heterotopien. Dazu gehört sicher das Theater, aber auch der Jahrmarkt, dieser wunderbar leere Platz am Rande der Stadt und zuweilen auch in deren Zentrum, der sich ein oder zwei mal im Jahr mit Buden, Ständen, den unterschiedlichsten Gegenständen, mit Faustkämpfern, Schlangenfrauen und Wahrsagerinnen füllt.”

— From an interview with Jack Schulze, co-founder of the highly influential studio Berg—a group of designers completely unafraid of the word “invention”. Interview responses #5 and #6 are pure gold. (via craightonberman)Some people … say design is about solving problems. Obviously designers do solve problems, but then so do dentists. Design is about cultural invention. There are some people who want to reduce the domain of design to listable, knowable stuff, so it’s easy to talk about. Design is a glamorous, glittering world and this means they can engage without having to actually risk themselves on the outcome of their work. This is damaging. It turns design into something terrified of invention. Design is about risk.

Abstraction
“…THE WAY SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL WORK IS MADE INVISIBLE BY ITS OWN SUCCESS. WHEN A MACHINE RUNS EFFICIENTLY, WHEN A MATTER OF FACT IS SETTLED, ONE NEED FOCUS ONLY ON ITS INPUTS AND OUTPUTS AND NOT ON ITS INTERNAL COMPLEXITY. THUS, PARADOXICALLY, THE MORE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SUCCEED, THE MORE OPAQUE AND OBSCURE THEY BECOME.” BRUNO LATOUR, PANDORA’S HOPE (1999)
