The Man and his Work

Goals can be set for the five ekistic elements and for different ekistic units and for different organs of the city. They should always be expressed in terms of physical space and time budgets in relation to how the citizen spends his 24 hours.

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.
