Bruce Mau's An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth

Bruce Mau is a Canadian designer who published his first manifesto in the late 1990's, and named it, An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth. 

This manifesto consists of only Bruce Mau's personal beliefs and thoughts about designing, and it's process. When this manifesto first came out, it spread like wildfire in the design community, and to this day is still quoted and recognised as one of the most influential manifesto's of design itself.  The layout is simply a list and even to some, a set of rules to abide by when designing. 

I quite like this manifesto because it is aloof. Revolving only around the theory of growth and change, the manifesto is to the point yet it is undefined. 

I say undefined because growth and change are very similar in the way they act, however they each take a different approach with us as individuals. Everybody goes through puberty, maturing, getting bigger, AND seeing things from new perspectives and living with a different frame of mind to those who surround us everyday. 

When we're young: We grow. When we are old: We are still growing. 

Time is a bitch, but it's our fate. 

Bruce Mau left this manifesto incomplete (hence the title). Which I think is perfect, as nothing is ever truly completed.
