state of the thesis of the thesis:

The future [now] requires a revolutionary way to repurpose what Was by its very own reason for being. In this study, "pattern" becomes a hinge to explore the historic and the possible, and to contextualize the value of the contemporary.



At the moment, the challenge has been to accept implied value-judgements inherent to arranging the research on the site, the program, and the methodological agenda. I think I'm avoiding it, which is really just avoiding making decisions, which is really refusing to make a design draft, which is not productive. Ok. That was cathartic. Back to work.
