Soft Order

The harmonious, non-rigid, well-adapted order characteristic of traditional built environments like Marrakesh or Rothenburg; the initial quality that must later receive the injection of brutal geometry

Structure-Preserving Transformations
implements
Chapter 2 of Volume 2 of The Nature of Order, introducing structure-preserving transformations as the mechanism by which living structure arises naturally through unfolding wholeness.
Brutal Geometry
contradicts
The almost alien, rigid, massively crystalline geometry imposed on a building design at a certain stage — coming from the internal needs of structural coherence, not from surroundings; frightening yet necessary for real order
