Diagrams + Outside Influences

When thinking about how people react and write about design It is important to understand which aspect they are interested in. One of the topics from the Doppler Effect that intrigued me was when the discussion of design process rather than material solution, technical systems or contextual elements. This brought me back to the beginning on my design process. Why are we asked to start with a Parti, this diagram so seemingly determines many guidelines that we will later follow. The idea of the diagram is also discussed as a tool of the virtual. How can we be in perpetual transformation when we have been sidelined by this diagram to help and guide our process. Fouclout discusses this ever changing environment with this quote “unities form[ing] a number of autonomous, but not independent domains, governed by rules, but in perpetual transformation.” This transformation is what keeps architecture and design ever moving and developing. This is particularly inspiring since sometimes we want the easy way out but know if we keep pushing and keep learning from all our interests we will become better designers for a better cause. So in other words it is good to keep outside interests and connect with others since we have a totally unique point of view with design always being an influence to our critical thinking approach.
