'Promise of function[action]'

The ‘promise of function[action]’ within the works of architecture is what separates it from other art forms. It is not simply a ‘series of retinal images’ that we experience in meaningful architecture.

‘The object which surround my body reflect its possible action upon them’  
-Henri Bergson.
’ In such memory, the past is embodied in action. Rather than being contained separately somewhere in the mind or brain, it is actively an ingredient in the very bodily movement that accomplish a particular action,’
-Edward Caset
