| The Sudan Delivery | "Since
I am deeply concerned with twin phenomena, the principle of twinness -gemelliparite
- which runs right through the entire dogon cosmology manifesting itself
at every scale level can, therefore, hardly fail to excite me!" (A Miracle of Moderation by van Eyck) |
| Aldo
van Eyck decele des concepts elementaires, des constantes formelles dans
les cultures primitives. Il aurait percu chez les Dogon, une "clarte labyrinthique" Ref.: Aldo Van Eyck, the Shape of Relativity - F. Strauven, 1998 | |

"Aldo
Van Eyck's Twin Phenomena has shattered the barriers of dualism with the
two-sided declaration. 'The city is a big house and the house is a small
city'. The Children's Home in Amsterdam (1960) is a fine example of his
Twin Phenomena Paradigm. Van Eyck's theories have exerted considerable influence on architecture around the world..." Kisho Kirokawa, Japan Master Architect Ref.: Intercultural Architecture: the philosophy of symbiosis - K Kurokawa, 1991 |
