The Man and his Work
The kinetic fields define the distances people desire to cross in order to come together. How can we build a settlement that both brings people together in community and keeps them apart in their personal privacy? The role of the city is to give all people all possible connections in an organized way.
The two goals for the city of today should be freedom of movement in all directions and the total time-distance between any two destinations should be minimal.
CONSTANTINOS A. DOXIADIS
When I look back over the last twelve years since the first Delos Symposium, and realize all that it has meant to the world and to all of us who were fortunate enough to share in it, I wonder to myself what made it possible. Dinos's vision of Ecumenopolis? Dinos's vision of the way in which different talents and temperaments in ekistics could be orchestrated into a vast symphony? Dinos's reception of all of us into his family? Or simply Dinos – Constantinos Doxiadis -- himself? This I cannot answer. I can only acknowledge the wonder of it.
