I cannot figure out how to edit and replace on this web site so I'm forced to resubmit. I apologize for the inconvenience this causes, but wanted to amend my earlier response to William Farris. Mr. Farris was responding to the following quote from the essay I posted entitled, "Design with Intensity":
"If the challenge is accepted, architecture will enter a new period of city design. The effort will force it to enter the public arena, and this is where inspiration is greeted with skepticism until logic is defended with knowledge." - Hosack
"I would have thought that knowledge should be defended with logic. Logic is a defense, in and of itself?" - Farris
Inspiration and logic stimulate the search for documented knowledge that can be memorized. The accumulation of knowledge stimulates further inspiration and logic. Knowledge becomes a foundation for debate and defense of further inspiration and logic. As the circle expands, it continues to threaten entrenched opinion with the risk of change. We call it adaptation when successful. - Hosack
