Why Trend-Driven Forms Disappear

How trend-optimized objects fail continuity tests under repetition, maintenance demand, and delayed replacement across Mediterranean environments.

Scarcity & Economic Logic

How scarcity, repair culture, and long replacement cycles raise durability thresholds and shape persistent forms across Mediterranean environments.

Repair-Before-Replacement Logic

How repair culture extends object lifespan, raises durability expectations, and stabilizes form continuity under scarcity conditions.

Long Replacement Cycles and Object Thickness

How extended use cycles and repair culture raise durability thresholds and select for thickness in Mediterranean environments.
