The Man and his Work

We should start by conceiving the economics or a society, the social goals of the society at a given moment, and then see how those goals can be achieved by mobilizing and utilizing all resources for the largest possible number of people.

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.
