I LOVE ORDER ... AND I ACCEPT DISORDER
According to the definition: DISORDER is a lack of order or regular arrangement; a confusion. The questions are: Who defines order and where does it starts and where does it end? Does only order aims towards an order, and the disorder towards a disorder? Does only disorder leads towards a disaster and order towards a success? Why human being is so anxious about a track that embodies a disorderly outcome? Is the disorder not the undiscovered order or confusion of the mind not being able to see its order? When, why and how a human beings applying the term Disorder/Order? Is order or disorder not a relative concept that changes from majorities to minorities, from individual to individual, and from each cultural or social context? Disorder seems to mankind to have an uncontrollable dynamic that needs to be controlled by order. But what does mankind wants to control? Is it maybe a narcissistic power game of imposing an individual order (disorder) over other orders or disorders? Does order or disorder really exist? And if so, in the existing world of multicultural and multi-characteristically environments should mankind then not learn to dance without fear between orders and disorder? Why mankind is so anxious to live in a context of disorder and not in an ordered one? Should they not fear to live in the context of order as much as they do it within a disordered one? And after all, does an orderly oriented approach lead more towards creative solutions then disorder one? For example the British writer Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) thinks that "One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries" and as Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875–1961) places order and disorder in the following relationship "In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order." In conclusion, maybe as stated by the US poet Wallace Stevens (1879–1955) "A. A violent order is disorder; and B. A great disorder is an order. These Two things are one". - This paper will try to introduce the importance of a philosophical element that a designer has to consider and embody while “walking through” the design process. It will argue that order and disorder only exists and created in the human mind, and a designer can only create for others by learning to dance in the world of unity. |
