ArgosArgos (Greek: Άργος, Árgos) is a city in Greece in the Peloponnesus near Nafplio, which was its historic harbor, named for Nauplius. HistoryAncient ArgosThe name of the city originates from the ancient Greek root arg- (PIE *arg-), which signified something bright (hence argyros, silver). The region of Argos was — and is — called the Argolid. It was a major stronghold of Mycenaean times, but the pre-Greek name of its acropolis, Larissa, reveals that it was a Pelasgian settlement. Argos, along with the neighboring acropoleis of Mycenae and Tiryns became very early settlements because of their commanding positions in the midst of the fertile plain of Argolid. Because of its refusal to fight in the Persian War, Argos was shunned by most other city-states. Its founding legend can be read under Danaus. In Homeric times it belonged to a follower of Agamemnon and gave its name to the surrounding district— the Argolid— which the Romans knew as Argeia. Eclipsed by nearby Sparta after the 6th century BC, Argos remained neutral or the ineffective ally of Athens during the 5th century BC struggles between Sparta and Athens. Medieval ArgosIn the 12th century, a castle on Larissa hill was built. Argos fell to the Franks and the Venetians until 1463. The Turks ruled Argos after until 1686 when Argos fell again to the Venetians under Morosini until 1716. It was ruled by the Turks until the Greek War of Independence in 1821. Modern Argos

By valuing tinkering and allowing SIS to evolve from the bottom-up, rather than implementing it from the top-down, the firm will end up with something that is deeply rooted in the organisational culture that is specific to that firm and is much less easily imitated. Olives are also popular here. In information systems, bricolage is used by Claudio Ciborra to describe the way in which Strategic Information Systems (SIS) can be built in order to maintain successful competitive advantage over a longer period of time than standard SIS. Agriculture, however, is the primary economic activity in the area, with citrus fruits the predominant crop. Contrary to the analytical style of solving problems he describes bricolage as a way to learn and solve problems by trying, testing, playing around. Considerable remains of the city survive and are a popular tourist attraction. In the discussion of contructionism Seymour Papert discusses two styles of solving problems. It is the largest city in the prefecture, one of the few prefectures in Greece where the largest city in population is larger than the prefectural capital.

For example, the safety pin became a form of decoration in punk culture.

In biology the biologist François Jacob uses the term bricolage to describe the apparently cobbled-together character of much biological structure, and views it as a consequence of the evolutionary history of the organism.
