Dialectic Dialogue
Presented in this article is a new method for dialogue between faith traditions. The proposed new method is presented in the form of a theoretical dialogue between Jews and Christians concerning 'salvation'. It is set forth as a 'dialectic dialogue' that shifts the focus from a direct comparison of the traditions to an indirect one. The indirect elements used are three dichotomies experienced by all and how the two traditions' adherents are encou…
Taste and the Greening of Design
The author discusses the role of industrial design in the generation of the apparently endlessly expanding demand for goods in “consumer societies.” This expansion is seen as situated in the universal socialisation of the possession of consumer goods as embodied surrogates for status. Yet, given inevitable eventual constraints on planetary resources, this expansion must one day be attenuated. Existing approaches to “green” issues in the field of …

A Cognitive Theory of Metaphor
Curators, Creators and Consumers
The author discusses the way in which the reward-systems for the professions of art and architecture influence practitioners’ perceptions of their respective roles. Status is considered to be an important factor in this relationship. Following the ideas of Thorstein Veblen on the so-called ‘trickle effect’, the role of status in determining the perceptions of consumers of art and architecture is considered. Consumers are little interested in the …
Drawing for Designing
This paper distinguishes between the type of drawing useful for making pictures and the type of drawing useful for designing. It describes a generative method for the sequential construction of complex images from simple geometric forms. These images are subsequently transformed into representations of some meaningful artefact with further enhancement of their visual complexity. This procedure has been found useful in the teaching of the art of d…

"Some Thoughts on Rudolf Arnheim's Book "Entropy and Art
The author points out the attraction the concept of entropy in thermodynamics has had outside of the fields of the natural sciences, especially its philosophical interpretation to confirm a pessimistic outlook on life. He discusses the meaning of entropy in thermodynamics, its implications in the realm of the physical universe and the misunderstanding about it that are prevalent among psychologists, aestheticians and artists. Arnheim’s book Entro…

The Failure of Basic Design
The article criticizes the role of the educational method called ‘Basic Design’ as it operates in the present art school system. ‘Basic Design’ is the modern English–American version of the Bauhaus ‘Vorkurs’ (Foundation Course). Its theoretical justification lies in the theory of ‘design elements’ derived from the aesthetic ideas of Bauhaus teachers such as Itten, Moholy-Nagy, Kandinsky and Klee. The author does not consider these ideas historica…
