The <strong>Time</strong> Inside<br />

According to <strong>Kevin</strong> <strong>Lynch</strong> the image of the time should be of present while<br />

understanding the connection to the past and future while keeping in mind the<br />

possibility and importance of change.<br />

Recalling and learning is a way to link with past and future. Any environment<br />

should provide that. A person’s time or rhythm should be synchronized to the<br />

rhythm of the world.<br />

An individual’s image of time should be constant with the changing worldly facts<br />

and also with changing human ways of thinking and feeling.<br />

<strong>This</strong> image would be a guide to that individual’s actions and a basis for<br />

providing human existence with meaning.<br />

The form of external environment can modify this image of time and the author<br />

discusses how the management of change in environment can lead to the<br />

expansion of individual’s image of time.<br />
