1000 years of Non-linear history – De Landa

De Landa writes that analytical tools must include a comprehensive strategy, a top-down approach should be complemented with a bottom-up approach. Because he describes an organic evolution process of people and culture, he implies that it is ever changing and uncertain. Looking at humankind as the catalyst for these changes in landscape can give way to interesting details about our design. Urban forms will constantly be changing and in need of updates, which implies the need to develop new ways to study and categorize these phenomena.
