“On Typology”,
“Once time is introduced into this system, a form can gradually unfold on this surface as a historically specific flow of matter that actualizeds the forces converging on the plane. These are the phenomenal forms that we conventionally associate with our lived world.”(P.63)

1.This remind me think about the project called Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain. The main point is how these geometry become a virtual form in our real lives?

Catastrophe theory is a fundamentally Heraclitean “science” in that it recognizeds that all form is the result of strife and conflict. It shows that the combination of any two or more conflicting forces may result in entirely irregular and discontinuous behavior if allowed to interact dynamically.”(P.60)

2.When author mentions that conflict forces may result irregular behavior, it is on purpose or it is natural happened.

Landscapes of Change: Boccioni’s Stati d’animo as a General Theory of Models”
“In Le Corbusier’s theory, the building industry should be analogous to the auto industry; like primitive architecture, but now through the industrial process, the new architecture should return to its former status as a typal instrument.”

3. In the Ville Radieuse, Le Corbusier is insightful in modern city scale, I’m confuse about “return to its former status as a typal instrument”, is any example?
