  • Unfoldingconcept0.836
    The step-by-step process through which coherent geometric order emerges from a whole, preserving structure at each step; the fundamental dynamic of all living processes
  • A general technique of using ordered questions to guide the design unfolding, ensuring a coherent whole emerges from the client's own visions.
  • The process by which patterns are used sequentially in design, combining and recombining to generate living centers
  • Process-based explanation: if parts are designed too early they become modular; correct timing yields uniqueness.
  • The step-by-step method of making in which each act is consistent with and extends the existing wholeness; the core mechanism that generates living structure, described in Book 2.
  • The process by which new centers emerge naturally from existing ones without forcing; the essence of morphogenetic sequences.
  • The gradual, incremental application of transformations that characterizes living process.
  • The overarching process framework within which pattern languages operate as a way to steer design toward living structure
