Form follows Flow
Dao of Design in Nature & Culture
I'm sharing how elegance in nature transforms into beauty & sustainability in culture, how beauty flows in time.

Designing Creative Teams: Play makes Hay!
Play releases most Potential, Most Easily, Adding Most Value.
What works for Teams also works for Nature. Why?
Good Form follows True, Beautiful Flow.
It’s built into the way the world works, from geometry to nature, people and society. It’s called Universality and it works for everything…including Football (so it must be true)!
Like a Penrose tiling, finite shapes can create infinitely varied patterns.
This is how universality explores possibilities most easily.
Does that sound familiar? It should — because it’s Play.
Play in terms of recreation, making plans, models and theatre to explore new concepts, ideas and hypotheticals.
What the new sciences of complexity tell us is that Nature can self-organise to evolve, and it does it with lateral, playful dynamics that explore as much information in a possibility-space as possible, most simply & quickly.
Teams are a collective consciousness. So they both work best when they’re connected in as many and varied ways as possible.
When they’re both bottom-up as well as top-down.
Vertical and lateral, focussed and playful in turn, especially when problems need solving and new thinking is needed.
Look at the circles in this background image and how they change relative positions and sizes. That’s just what creativity is — playing with permutations and potentials to find the most ideal and fit for purpose arrangements.
Creativity is both divergent as well as convergent — and it yields moments that flip modes — or even keep both (or several), in superposition, most easily.
In terms of Nash Equilibrium, the most potential is released for the least energy cost during self-organised critical, phase-transition regimes (known as dynamical systems universality); when co-operation replaces conflict.
The geometry of the natural world into which we’re all embedded is fractal and recursively self-similar, it’s feedback-led, bottom up and top down in symphonic harmony, adaptive & resilient, rhyming and resonant, delivering gestalt (wholes that are more than the some of their parts — synergies). That’s what empathy is: emotional fractals and self-similarity between individuals and within teams.
So the best teams are the ones that are best curated and synergised by empathic mentors that tolerate and encourage equality & pluralism.
It’s what the French called an Espirit de Corps and is why a happy, healthy and creative team is also a pluralistic democracy that thrives on diversity, simplexity, shared information and humour, on leadership from the front delivering fulfilled potential for both individuals and the unit — on an emergent unity of shared purpose and meaning, rather than as an imposed, authoritarian “dick-tatorship”.
The geometries that best express these (ultimately, information), flows and behaviours are those of the Asynsis principle — and since they

Tijdens De Duurzame Werkplaats gingen zo'n 60 leerlingen van het Graafschap College en AOC Oost aan de slag met duurzaam verbouwen van een kleine werkplaats in de tuin van ARXlabs in Zelhem. Naast een praktijkopdracht waren er diverse workshops en presentaties.
Architect Alfonso Wolbert gaf een inspirerende lezing over o.a. biomimicry en energieneutraal werken.
Hello and welcome to 11HORSES - “the viral issue”.
I have long had an interest in how ideas, gestures and “memes” get transmitted throughout our societies, changing, evolving and sometimes mutating into something new, getting passed on from generation to generation. Why is it that You will see soft, cuddly animals strapped to the front of big heavy trucks, driven by big, heavy men all over (at least) the western world ? Or what does the sight of a pair of sneakers, laces tied together, thrown over a phone wire mean, and why is it that kids all over will continue throwing them? We recently celebrated the 200 year anniversary of scientific giant Charles Darwin. His brilliant theory of natural selection continues to amaze and inspire us with it’s simplicity and elegance. In this issue we’re trying to illustrate and reflect on all of these phenomena with the help of some extraordinary talent.
The discourse on the Arts and Sciences - Ryota Matsumoto | Art Reveal Magazin...JohnMecco
Ryota Matsumoto is an artist, educator, designer, cultural programmer, urban planner, and architect based in the United States and Japan. As a media theorist, he is highly recognized as the founder and progenitor of the postdigital culture.
Born in Tokyo, he was raised in Hong Kong and Japan. He received a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2007 after his studies at the Architectural Association in London and Mackintosh School of Architecture, the Glasgow School of Art in the early 90s. Over the years, he has studied with Manuel DeLanda, Vincent Joseph Scully Jr., Cecil Balmond, and Giancarlo De Carlo, among others. He collaborated with a cofounder of the Metabolist Movement, Kisho Kurokawa, and with Arata Isozaki, Peter Christopherson, and MIT Media Lab.
He has taught architecture, art, and interdisciplinary design as a lecturer and visiting critic in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
