With increasing knowledge of environmental forces, both physical and cultural, man becomes increasingly able to bring favorable relationships into existence and to eliminate those he deems undesirable. Today, thanks to the advances of science and technology, we can construct virtually anything we may dream up. Man, alone among all living phenomena, is finally able to adjust or change his environment in any way he chooses to serve his own special needs of growth and development. However, because of inadequacies in communication, we do not know just how mankind will be affected by such innovations in the control of environment. The construction field becomes, per se, a significant case-study in the mass consumption of information. (1)
