Define: ra-di-cal//BintWTD_Tracy
The word radical evokes many images in my mind, most of them negative. I think it is a question of usage. For most of my life it has been used to designate a person or an idea that is completely outside the accepted range of thought.

spontaneous_architecture // bintWTD_Petra
As designers, we often find ourselves caught in this obsession, illusion, of complete control, where every angle of a design is under perfect consideration according to prescribed set of rules.
