“Greek myth placed Pan as god of nature.His original place,Arcadia,is both a physical and a psychic location.The “caves obscure” where he could be encountered were expanded as the material recesses where impulse resides,the dark holes of the psyche whence desire and panic arise.”

“His habitat in antiquity,like that of Faunus was always dells, grottos, water, woods, and wilds-ever villages, never the tilled and walled settlements of the civilized; cavern sanctuaries,not constructed temples. He was a shepherd’s god, a god of fishers and hunters, a wanderer”

“Who are these nymphs of myth, these loves of Pan? ...

... many had no names; these “impersons” bespeak... the impersonality of the drive...

Of those named, there is Syrinx, a water maiden; Pitys, a nymph of the pine tree, was another... A third of Pan’s loves was Echo...

... Reflection seems the aim as we proceed further through the list of Pan’s loves. For another was Eupheme, wet nurse to the Muses... Finally, the one who fully reveals Pan’s intention is Selene, goddess of the moon...

What is resistant to light, obscure and driven... turns white and reflective, able to see what is going on in the night... The whitening is not an askēsis of the goat. It is not that Pan now knows and so does not act out, but the action turns reflective.”

“I strongly believe in the importance of the scientific approach. Yet...the sciences have lost much of their vigor, vitality and curiosity. Dogmatic ideology, fear-based conformity and institutional inertia are inhibiting scientific creativity.”
~ Rupert Sheldrake

“With scientific colleagues, I have been struck over and over again by the contrast between public and private discussions. In public, scientists are very aware of the powerful taboos that restrict the range of permissible topics; in private they are often more adventurous.” ~ RS

“...science is being held back by centuries-old assumptions that have hardened into dogmas...The biggest scientific delusion of all is that science already knows the answers. The details still need working out but, in principle, the fundamental questions are settled.” ~ Sheldrake

Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s. It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building, commonly characterised by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity,or symmetry.

Walt Disney Concert Hall, Frank Gehry

Architects whose work is often described as deconstructivist (though in many cases the architects themselves reject the label) include Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Bernard Tschumi, and Coop Himmelb(l)au.

Seattle Central Library

Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Trafford, Greater Manchester (2002). An archetype of deconstructivist architecture, it comprises three fragmented, intersecting curved volumes, symbolizing the destruction of war.
