By rejecting the lavish in the service of industrial design, minimalism is often a virtue. After stripping away unnecessary constituents, essential purpose and identity remain.
“As a matter of fact, everything made by the hand of man is art and has within itself the potentiality of beauty.” – Walter Dorwin Teague
Excitement dwells
Between the lines
Everything rhymes
While moving into the descending night, a super sense-perceptual mode of experience may accompany appearances as impressions accrue over time.
“By using these forms to gain a knowledge of our own person, we run the risk of mistaking for the coloring of the self the reflection of the frame in which we place it.” – Henri Bergson
Terse phrases
Gradual change
Hypnotic effect
Levels of existence become categorized by material distinctions that divide the visual plane in an effort of imagination. The spirit expands and grows while passing through contiguous states of consciousness, as appearances indicate certain antecedents by projecting the present into the past.
“Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.” – Ad Reinhardt
Absolute act
Reasoning faculties
Subsequent creation
All environmental circumstances in which existence occurs are provisional. The velocity of passing conditions seems continuously to accelerate as time accumulates. Under such constraints, an action freely performed nullifies all other equally possible proceedings.
“If the vibrant and frolicking merry-go-round of our daily living has been ousted by an eerie void of an intractable vacuum, only inspiriting memories may shore up our inner world.” – Erik Pevernagie
Structural juxtaposition
Material distinctions
Built environment
Topographic and cerebral location circumstance defines the urban experience. In the city, beauty and utility share the same inexplicable space. Sudden appearances of new sensations transpire in tranquil attentiveness by willfully eliminating conceptual thought. In an aesthetic state of mind there resides both mystery and potency.
“Form must no doubt have a content, but the beauty does not lie in the content.” – K.W. Wild
Particular tendency
Attractiveness message
Appearance expectations
The prevailing current of influence is a powerful force. In appearance design, there is a need for a comfortable impression of novelty as an underpinning for conformity. Offering something too far from the mainstream ensures unpopularity. Fortunately, slow continuous change becomes significant with extended duration.
“There’s a lot of stress… but once you get in the car, all that goes out the window.” – Dan Brown
Public revelry
Traveling amusement
Festival of merrymaking
Rides, games-of-skill, and sideshows all combine in a frenetic slipshod disturbance of prodigious public entertainment. The illuminated promise of the ‘Greatest Carnival on the Planet’ builds enjoyment anticipation, opening the possibility of even superior shows active on other celestial bodies.
“Well, I don’t know how official any of these rankings really are.” – Jerry Seinfeld
Spiritual power
Timely preparation
Imminent eventualities
Offering passage to a future full of infinite possibilities, this portal to providence is clearly designated. More allurement in aspiration develops than occurs in actual occupancy, in mental figments rather than in material reality.
“My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.” – Robert E. Lee
Precisely configured
Radiation domain
Administrative division
An entertainment development area revitalizes a portion of downtown Kansas City and provides interesting visual fodder. It is also one of the few localities in the United States with an open container alcoholic beverage allowance. You can walk around the environs with a drink, if it is in a plastic cup marked with the logo of the establishment from which it was purchased to ensure maximum profit extraction.
“Walk through the eight blocks of the Power & Light District and you will discover a variety of local boutiques with the latest fashions and trends and an array of cuisines at the many restaurants and cafes.” – Derek Klaus
Novel appearance
Inanimate respect
Articulated utterance
An industrial facade adorns an otherwise ordinary office building, perhaps indicating an occupational orientation. Common to all forms of synthesis, the whole is different from the sum of its parts.
“Beauty is the most profound, the most insoluble, the most fascinating of all the mysteries life presents.” – K.W. Wild
