The public space, created first as an offshoot from acts of individual occupancy forming private houses, quickly became a thing that many people together cared for and shaped.claim0.830
Describes the emergent genesis of public space from private acts, not top-down planning
When living processes are applied systematically to the public space in a human community, they will generate a system of articulated, useful, coherent, and mainly pedestrian spaces.claim0.816
Core claim about the generative power of living process on public space.
A system of hulls of public space will inevitably be created by the unfolding of a living process, if it is truly living and truly allowed to unfold.claim0.812
The inevitability of hulls as the outcome of living process.
All parts of the unfolded public space are shaped, fashioned, treated, as if each were a kind of larger living room.claim0.801
Description of the human quality of unfolded public spaces.
Structure-preserving transformations that continually modify wholeness slowly cause space to be filled with unfolded I-like centers.claim0.794
Proposition 3 of the Mid-Book Appendix; the claim linking the mathematical process of unfolding to the emergence of I-likeness in natural and built structures.
Only a deliberate process of creating being-like centers in built structure throughout the world encourages the world to become more alive.claim0.791
Proposition 4 of the Mid-Book Appendix; the normative and practical conclusion tying individual search for the true self to the creation of a living world.
When something works, or is functional, its space is awakened to a very high degree. It becomes alive. The space itself becomes alive.claim0.789
Core thesis of the chapter: function is an awakening of the spatial medium.
Certain configurations of centers have such organizing force that they create entirely new levels of intensity within the centers themselves and utterly transmute the material character of space.hypothesis0.787
Suggests that sufficiently intense fields of centers transcend ordinary matter.
