Modern forms of high-density housing have unnecessarily gone in a direction which is inhumane, inefficient, expensive, and unpleasant.

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

• High-Density Housingconcept0.802
  Housing at densities of 50–80 families per acre (approximately 200 households per hectare), the design challenge addressed.
• The great majority of modern buildings are awkward assemblies of unrelated components, lacking the coherence necessary to be living designs.claim0.773
  Aesthetic judgment on modern buildings.
• The forms of these buildings do not allow such an unfolding to occur; they patently do not.claim0.765
  Critique of Renzo Piano's and Daniel Libeskind's buildings as incapable of unfolding.
• A density of 16 dwellings (or units) per acre is roughly the upper limit of what can be achieved while keeping the environment humane.claim0.763
  The central density threshold claim derived from the interaction of the four colors.
• The idea that a building becomes more 'organic' if it has a more complex form, even when based on notions of the interior organization, is almost always wrong.claim0.759
  Rejects the common assumption that organic architecture requires complex exterior forms
• Our present forms of planning, design, construction, and production are deeply flawed because they do not include step-by-step adaptation and cannot in principle do so as they are.claim0.757
  Sweeping indictment of current production systems.
• The general morphological features for very high densities from a living process are: low height, abundant daylight, tiny gardens, narrow lanes, parking partly underground, and family-designed interiors.claim0.754
  Summary invariant of housing forms generated by the living process at high density.
• It is possible to provide a high-density living environment with these qualities while housing 80 families per acre.claim0.752
  Central feasibility claim of the chapter.
