The early seventies was an explosive time of new ideas and rapid
change with London being one of the main centres of activity and
innovation. In the midst of this, and as an already established
architect of some repute, caught up in this wave of novel thought,
Basil Al Bayati began to take an interest in the creative process
itself and in particular, its relationship to architecture and the
genesis of architectural form. It was, at the time, undiscovered
territory. Creativity was, for the most part, viewed as an elusive
gift, the exclusive possession of artists and inventors and little
progress had been made in unravelling its mysteries and presenting
them in a logical manner for the critical evaluation of others. In
this, Basil Al Bayati was something of a trailblazer and his
investigations led ultimately to the publishing of his first book,
Process and Pattern, published by aarp in 1981. In it, he developed
the ideas of the excitor apparatus as a means for explaining how
information is processed and the nature of its interaction with a
memory surface which can be taken to include anything that can give
and receive impressions whether that be the human brain and nervous
system, a landscape or a design plan. This book contains his first
thoughts on these themes, taken from early notes and essays
originally written in the early seventies, and as such must be
considered within the context of the time and place in which they
were developed. Although some of the psychological principles may
seem out-dated by modern standards, we feel that the value of this
text as a pioneering study is too great for it to be withheld from
the public domain. It is with great pleasure that we present it
here for the first time.
