Inventing Possibilities

Architecture // Ernesto Santalla // Influences // Opinion

Everything designed and made by man starts as an arbitrary decision by inventing possibilities. Lots of inventions came as a result of observation mixed with association. At some point we observed how repetition created similar results predictably and conventions were adopted. When faced with conventions that contradicted each other, we chose one over the other. At some point we placed God at the center of the Universe and then we placed Man at the center of the Universe. Some things, like the wheel, proved to work in many situations, so why not? As a species, we are resourceful and for each challenge we’ve invented possibilities that get us what we need or desire. Necessity is the mother of creation, don’t we say? How about, inventing possibilities is the solution to all our challenges?
