Lexicon 1.1 "Wildness"

LAISSEZ-FAIRE:
Laissez-Faire is not to interfere the development of something, its aim is to let the subject to develop according to its own intrinsic rules. There is a similar thought in China which was raised by Lao-tzu around 500 BC and this thought becomes the main thought of Taoism. This thought in Taoism is to say that we should to govern something by doing nothing that goes against its nature. Therefore when we design the building or landscape, shall we control all the circulation, do all the partition of function and other decision for the users according to our analysis? Or shall we just build up a flexible frame, let the users to develop and let the building to evolve by itself?


EVOLVE:
Evolve is to describe the process of something’s growth and development. Like the evolution in the biology, evolve here should emphasize that the main reason of the evolutions should be from the outside environment. For the creatures, the environment changes, and the creature change accordingly, for a building, the users change or their habits change, the building change accordingly. Therefore evolve is never a process which starts arbitrarily from the inside of the subject, it should start from the environment in which the subject lives.
