Beyzâ!: As the architect clarifies and embellishes spatial transitions, so perhaps the environment should not be temporally changeless or change evenly with the clock but should seem to make dramatic transitions, succeeded by slow shifts. New rituals of time might arise: letting in the light, celebrating the solstice, dramatizing a residential move, marking birth and death. Beginnings and endings are what we remember in order to make sense of the drift of events. Some changes should coincide with social transitions: marriage, closing time, mealtime. The course of the year might become a succession of distinct periods on the background of neutral time. The standard hour and the standard week were important achievements. Can we now create a more human calendar?
