Co-housing process copied all over the United States due to compatibility with professional norms

Observation that co-housing spread widely because it required only minor changes to existing professional roles, unlike deeper living processes.

Co-housing processmethod0.815
A housing development process where families meet, design houses with an architect, and share commons; partially living but constrained by existing professional norms.
Each house must be different to give each family its dignity; identical mass-produced houses violate the individual life and dreams that underpin the living processclaim0.772
The socially normative claim Alexander and the families made against Hernan Alesia's standardization demand.
Our new or revised living processes were too 'large' to be widely copied because they required too much change and were indivisible.claim0.758
Diagnosis of why Alexander's earlier full-process experiments did not spread despite success.
If design and construction processes are living processes, each part will become itself, adapted to local conditions and individual people.claim0.736
Core assertion that living process translates unique place and person into unique form.
We hypothesize that it is possible to invent high-technology versions of smooth unfolding processes so buildings can be specified cheaply while being uniquely adapted to each conditionhypothesis0.735
Alexander's programmatic hypothesis framing the 21st-century construction research agenda.
I believe that similar (not identical) results will come from asking people in other cultures, to answer questions similar to those on pages 312-14.hypothesis0.723
Predictive statement about cross-cultural replication of housing preference patterns.
The process is based entirely on feedback from the practical. This shop has its own architecture, caused by the making of centers where they had to be made.claim0.723
The family-owned gas station as a paradigm of practical unfolding.
No papers directly compare cultures with vs without proportional wealth-sharing norms—all focus on modeling wealth distribution within single economic systems rather than cross-cultural comparative analysis of sharing institutionsfinding0.722
Core empirical finding of the search: identifies the absence of cross-cultural comparative work on wealth-sharing institutions and their economic/social outcomes.
