ADDITIONAL NOTES.
Since I viewed the above terms as both topical and descriptive/active, I wanted to use a comparative format to outline the meanings of and differences between the terms. Each is best defined in relation to its counterpart- to understand one term is to value the uniqueness of the other. Though Corner describes each term in the context of landscape, the underlying principles behind the terms are widely applicable to any number of design solutions, systemic relationships, social behaviors, or even human personalities. I find these parallels to be of interest- the points at which design behavior mirrors that of human psychological impulses. Yet, it is a chicken or the egg scenario. Which came first? Do we impart these personalities on systemic solutions, or, do these solutions take on increasingly complex relationships that cite human characteristics? Is the psychology behind these ecologies attributed or experienced, and what causes either result?
