Once a room is in position with size and location fixed, it is too late to give it real feeling or true meaning.

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

• It is, above all, the light and relation to movement and relation to the whole which give quality and character to a room.quote0.805
  Summarizes the three primary determinants of room life.
• The room sticks out and claims a substantial part of the perimeter, beginning to shape the building around the room.claim0.796
  How a room's need for light and view determines the building envelope.
• If the feeling is genuine and does arise out of the site itself, then it must be thought of as an absolute which later stages of design and construction must only strengthen, deepen.hypothesis0.795

• The feeling a place presents to us is a measure of its life.claim0.792
  Epistemological claim that phenomenological response is the primary yardstick for evaluating living structure.
• We can sense, ahead of time, the quality of the completed whole, even when we cannot yet visualize it.claim0.790

• The centers which bring life to a room are larger features which lie beyond the boundary of the room.claim0.789

• The I must be real, and if the physical picture of space and time requires modification to include the I, this modification would be a discovery of the first order.hypothesis0.787
  Alexander's scientific conjecture that his architectural theory implies a true modification of physics, analogous to Maxwell's discovery.
