A bad beginning of volume and space can never be set right later.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Once a room is in position with size and location fixed, it is too late to give it real feeling or true meaning.claim0.749
  Emphasizes the primacy of position.
• Matter-space must be potentially living, center-making, possibly even conscious stuff.claim0.748
  A key proposition for the new cosmology: space-matter has the inherent capacity for life and self-connection when centers intensify.
• If the volume is congruent with the wholeness which existed previously in the city or on the land, a profound feeling can often come from its congruence.hypothesis0.742
  The predicted outcome of a good site-design process.
• Under these conditions, what is done next always has a natural and comfortable relation to what existed before: it has a similar structure and never violates the previously existing structure.claim0.739
  Characteristic of a structure-preserving process.
• We can sense, ahead of time, the quality of the completed whole, even when we cannot yet visualize it.claim0.739
• The first thing to unfold will usually be the volume itself, actually an arrangement of volumes, as a primitive rectangle with minor rectangles accompanying it.claim0.738
  Prescriptive claim about the initial step of volume emergence from public space.
• Always, you are trying to make positive space.claim0.736
  Guiding principle for arranging structures in a garden.
• Projects with living structure will often tend to have an informal formal character of volume and space.claim0.731
  This morphological quality is visible in the Berryessa house plan and is typical of class-one structures.
