  • Scientific Theory as One of the Fine Arts

    Yona FriedmanARTICLELeonardo1993

    The author argues the mythologies as world models have many advantages over mathematical approaches: they are easy to grasp, easy to communicate and almost limitless in the ability to express the complexity and erraticism experienced in the universe. He sketches a “poetic,” anthropomorphic theory that aims to build a new mythology, or world model, for understanding the universe as a whole

  • Communication Centre of Scientific Knowledge for Self-Reliance

    Yona FriedmanARTICLELeonardo1986

    Development means improving the living conditions for all. An acceptable quality of life is one in which people have the basic commodities at their disposal. If such commodities cannot be bought people should be able to produce them. The main resources for doing so are human intelligence and knowledge. The Communication Centre of Scientific Knowledge for Self-Reliance, through wall posters, training manuals and other methods, makes information fo…

  • The Visual Arts and the Future

    Yona FriedmanARTICLELeonardo1981

    1. Art as Communication This paper relates primarily to art as a form of communication. Some time ago I defined a visual artwork as a kind of object that contains a message.

And the point I wish to stress is that viewers necessarily make a contribution to any art…

  • On Models of Utopias and Social Ecology

    Yona FriedmanARTICLELeonardo1972

    The author points out that proposalsfor utopias involve an environment made up of persons and objects. They are proposed when people are dissatisfied with their mode of life. Realizable ones depend upon availability of appropriate technology and upon the existence of general agreement in a society for its implementation. In the study, examples of utopias that might be attained are outlined. The concept of a non-paternalistic utopia is explained a…

  • L'art et la ville

    Yona FriedmanARTICLELeonardo1968

    Le droit a la ‘personnalite’ est le plus grand privilege moderne. Il est a la portee de tous, grâce aux elements standardises, dont on peut composer un tres grand nombre de permutations equivalentes. Cette personnalisation est recherchee par tous, les artistes y compris, ceux-ci devant assurer aussi la mission de fabriquer des combinaisons ‘porteuses de messages’. Un objet sans message dechiffrable cesse d’etre objet d’art, il n’est qu’un canular…
