Living process in a garden depends on people following their own hearts, allowing the call of their own hearts, dreams, feeling, to become actual in this place.claim0.800
The necessity of authentic personal investment for living process to succeed.
Repeated use of the fundamental process will typically generate irregular streets following contours, polygonal lots, long-narrow houses adjusted to lot lines, positively-shaped gardens, and overall lot designs composed of separate adjacent portionsclaim0.800
Alexander's enumeration of the predictable morphological outcomes of the dynamic process across scales.
The fundamental process will produce a unique thing each time that it is used.claim0.799
Claim that uniqueness emerges naturally from the unfolding process.
A garden with real life comes from thinking in living terms about every plant, every path, every bush, the fertilizer, the water, every little wall.claim0.796
Prescription for mindful, granular attention in gardening.
The form of the garden, and its living structure, come from progressive unfolding the position of one plant continuing and unfolding from the earlier growth of another.claim0.794
Definition of garden form as a sequential, emergent process.
To treat the gardens as positive — more positive, even, than the buildings themselves — that is the first step.claim0.789
The inversion of typical priority: garden space should be shaped as strongly as (or stronger than) buildings.
A truly dynamic structure-preserving process generates layouts in which every single bit of space becomes a living center — streets, lots, gardens, courtyards, housesclaim0.787
Core claim about the morphological output of the fundamental process applied to neighborhood design.
Seats, fences, and other centers, placed in the landscape to connect the garden with the buildings, will form a continuity of structure between inside and outside.claim0.786
