“The challenge to destroy the own creation is more than bitter for a designer. Even in the everyday life, acts of destruction are taken as the definite contrary of a creative process. To destroy something which has been created with your heart and soul? Never!

I want to show with my book, that there are options to apprehend the destruction not only as an absolute destruktive act, but as a possibility to use it aware and conceptual for the creative workflow. By accepting the dissolution of a material or abstract array as a creative method, debilitating habits and logics can be questioned within the creative process. This way of the unscheduled and spontaneous enables innovation. In my book I’m analyzing the relation of chaos, order and destruction. I want to expose the role of the destruction within the creative process on the basis of the work of established artists and designer like Duchamp, Arp, Tinguely, Burrughs, Rainer, Carson or Gehry.

The design and the structure of my book equate to my appeal to dare destruction and innovation finding a new arrangement: Forget everything you know and work with the things you don’t know.”
