Fundamental process
about
The core iterative procedure that creates living structure; the engine of living process
Archetypal Core (savage quality)
about
The deep, fundamental quality that emerges when the fundamental process is used purely; described as savage, wild, untamed, and close to the root of human feeling.

Summary claim that the entire process reduces to the single rule of making beings at all scales.
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.claim0.785
Summarizes the brutal process as force-first geometry, then syncopated adaptation to fit context without violence
The unassuming, ordinary, touching quality can only be created by a living process, by unfolding.claim0.783
Strong exclusivity claim: only unfolding produces genuine ordinariness that touches people.
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 portionsclaim0.781

The essence of the process is that it generates coherent, yet quite unpredictable structure, simply by applying a few simple rules to a piece of land and its natural idiosyncracies.quote0.781
