Core Quotes |
“A nomadic people is free-ranging, unsettled, and therefore open to adaptation as conditions change. Unchained from fixed horizons and habits of thought, physical and intellectual structures are dismantled in favour of exploration and experimentation..”
Beck, J., in Oswalt, P., 2006 (p121)
“The identity of the parasite cannot be determined completely. It is mobile and localised at the same moment. When being mobile, it can acquire its full meaning only through its installation. Its receptacle changes because of this temporal addition. At the same time, the design of the ephemeral-mobile, must take into consideration all the possibilities of settlement in places previously unknown to it.”
