The seemingly rough arrangement is more precise because it comes from a much more careful guarding of the essential centers in the design

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

• The precise placement of windows can only be judged well in the real world, because subtle interactions with the wholeness cannot be captured in drawings.claim0.758
  Example that vital fine-tuning depends on in-situ perception of the actual emerging structure.
• 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.hypothesis0.752
  Suggests that sufficiently intense fields of centers transcend ordinary matter.
• The gist of the process, what I call the formal or brutal process, lies in the use of very simple geometry, first introduced with force, after one makes sure that the inspiration has arisen from the place, and from the introduction, then, of just enough syncopation into the order, so that it truly fits the necessities of site and place and time, without doing violence to them.claim0.749
  Summarizes the brutal process as force-first geometry, then syncopated adaptation to fit context without violence
• Roughness arises inevitably when a regular order is forced into three-dimensional constraints, producing adaptive irregularities like those in corn cobs, crystal dislocations, and radiolarian shells.claim0.744
• What makes design so very difficult for most people is that they do not use a generative sequence; instead they try to design all at once, in a jumble.claim0.740
  Diagnosis of why conventional design methods produce struggle and chaos, contrasted with the ease of proper sequence.
• It is more important to get the rooms right, one by one, than it is to have a coherent 'plan'.claim0.739
  A design principle that rejects plan-driven layout.
• The appearance of this invisible and useful center at the core of every room is the most subtle invariant.claim0.736
  Underlines the difficulty and importance of the focal center.
• The intuitive placing of members to create a field of centers produces results in which the forces are beautifully distributedclaim0.729
  Alexander's claim that aesthetic/structural intuition guided by living-center logic yields mechanically efficient designs, confirmed by FEA.
