01 AUGUST Planned obsolescence is the order within such a discipline – shoes, motor car, magazines.
PSYCHEDELIC TRIP 02/07 The validity of such an aesthetic is only achieved if replacement is a factor of the overall design process. The mobile home presupposes a continuance of
FESTIVAL 06/07 production of such units. (The last manned war-plane has been designed.)
In all such cases the artefact at any one time is complete in itself and overall design problem requires a solution to the organisation of such units – flowers
