Built Environment vs Nature

My Ideology

I guess that my -ism is Taoism.

In my opinion, there is regulation of natural processes and nourishes balance in this Universe. It embodies the harmony of opposites (i.e. there would be no love without hate, no truth without fault, no yang without yin, no success without failure, no teacher without student.)" Therefore, there is no need for me to search the truth hardly as the truth will come to us if we just throw away the falsehoods and lies inside us.

Introduction to Production...

Production:
- the act of producing goods and services.
- consists of 6 elements :

1. Intention:

- purpose, aim, target, want what.
- in form of explicit and implicit.
- constructive and destructive.
- good and bad.
- require knowledge which is a product of the act to know by listening, seeing and differentiating.

2. Act

- doing.
- individually or in group work.
- involve perceiving, designing, building, negotiating, modelling, constructing, finishing,
inhabiting, using, spoiling, demolishing, recycling in the built environment.

3. Product

- in form of physical, mental, spiritual.





4. Actor

- people involved in the process of production.
- by individual, institution, producer, enforcer, professions...
- listen and see but not hear and look at.





5. Rule
- natural and man-made.
- law, by-law, canon, act, enactment, regulation, religion, belief, norms, custom, ideology...
- climatic , technological , economic , social , political...
- Types of ideology :
Altruism = No right and wrong.
Cynicism = Everything is wrong.
Relativism = Everything is right.
Truth-seekerism = Must search the truth.
Taoism = No need to search the truth.
Just throw away the lies inside us and truth will come to us.

- hot or cold.
