Purposive Drift

Another take on bricolage

George Nelson wrote beautifully on architecture, design and creativity. Sadly, his books are now out of print. But you can get a flavour of his writing from Stanley Abercrombie's excellent biography. Looking at it yesterday I found a quote I seemed to have missed before:

"What the creative act really means is the unfolding of the human psyche in the sudden realization that one has taken a lot of disconnected pieces and found, not done, a way of putting them together."
