At stake here is an understanding of architecture as participating in a world of living systems and entities. The organization of cultural/physical systems is not reducible to a set “base” or “core” of patterns or structures, or to such structures found “behind” contexts or settings. Rather, in this view, order in design is embedded within dynamic context. Design includes the processes by which participating components organize local lived situations. These mutually constitutive dynamics include processes, which are living entities, being constituted by the very processes of living.
