Theory and practice of visual form based on formative processes and hierarchial structures. Propositions: form follows process, rotation is a universal form-generating process, symmetric form is a result of an asymmetric process and freedom is the single organizing principle.

As printed in the 1974–75 to 1987–88 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

    Purpose: To increase interdisciplinary awareness and understanding of our environment by identifying and developing patterns of various phenomena as seen in nature, life, and laboratory. Content: Visual patterns identified in nature, life, and laboratory considered as a structured interdisciplinary language through which knowledge can be transmitted between people of different backgrounds. Through laboratory work, and from natural phenomena pattern’ such as those of gravitational forces, surface tension, and shrinkage stresses will be used to suggest relationships between different disciplines.
