Update of Claims

**As a result of my brief forays into general social theory, I think I’ve more or less arrived at two conclusive assertions. First, of what I consider as the essential pursuit of architecture – to be flexibly pragmatic. Not only must it be effectively useful in various conditions within the immediate and existing frame of absolute need, it must also contain the ability to engage purposefully in future frames of necessity. Second, that I’ll define “social” engagement, relevance and purpose, as summarized by Timothy, “as a condition of exchange or interchange”. With these two claims now tangibly at hand, I think I can now pursue “homelessness” through these lenses and engage in my first concept of Permanence.
