performance
aesthetics
"We are human in good part because of the particular way we
affiliate with other organisms. They are the matrix in which the human
mind originated and is permanently rooted, and they offer the challenge
and freedom innately sought."
"if a landscape component appears 'beautiful' its beauty is not an inalienable quality of
itself; it derives from the contribution which it seems,
actually or symbolically, to be capable of making to our
chances of biological survival in the environment of which both we and it form a part."
“Aesthetic pleasures are more reflective or cognitive. They involve comparing, contrasting, fitting things
into patterns, and figuring out meanings and connections.
Perceptual pleasures become aesthetic when they are, in a sense,
conceptualized."
elegant solutionsSalginatobel Bridge, Robert Maillart
Maple Valley Library, SvR with Swift Co. and Cutler Architects
"for us to deem a work...elegant, it is not enough that it look simple: we must feel that the simplicity it displays has been hard won, that it flows from the resolution of a demanding technical or natural predicament…We admire starkly simple works that we intuit would, without immense effort, have appeared very complicated.”

"A life in harmony with Nature, the love of truth and of virtue, will purge the eyes to understand her text. By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
