For Andre and Anna's Berkeley house 1982, discovery of the farmhouse kitchen center resolved three days of anguish about family life organization and defined the core of the finished house

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

• A roughly bent S-curve of cardboard placed at the Berkeley house entrance showed noticeably more life potential than a straight approach, demonstrable even at rough mockup stagefinding0.763
  Design process case study showing the wholeness criterion operates effectively at early rough mockup stages
• At Santa Rosa de Cabal, 76 families each designed their own unique house using the generative process, with the neighborhood complete in its first form by 1995finding0.741
  Demonstration that the fundamental process scales to full community development with diverse family participation.
• At Moshav Shorashim (1982-88), four houses in a single cluster each came out entirely different, governed by family choices interacting uniquely with topography and orientationfinding0.741
  Empirical result showing that the generative process produces authentic uniqueness at the individual house scale.
• The closure of the Building Process program at UC Berkeley was caused by the incommensurability of the new paradigm with prevailing architectural assumptions.claim0.729
  Attributes the program's demise to a paradigm clash, consistent with Kuhn's theory.
• Berkeley architecture students did not genuinely like their own buildings in the ordinary sense that one likes a hamburger or a rose.claim0.723
  Alexander's diagnosis at the architecture jury; he led students to admit that they had never been taught to like what they make.
• Berkeley architecture students admitted, after half an hour of discussion, that they did not genuinely like their own work in the ordinary sense.finding0.721
  Empirical outcome of the architecture jury intervention: students conceded that professional training had never emphasized liking what one makes.
• The Berryessa house has many stairs making it hard for old people, and a separate bedroom means going through rain, which might be considered a functional problem.claim0.712
• My claim in Book 2 is that the intricate and beautiful structure of living centers comes about naturally, and most of the time without effort, as a result of the repeated application of structure-preserving transformations to the wholeness which exists.quote0.710
  Central thesis statement of the chapter, encapsulating the core idea that living structure arises effortlessly from structure-preserving transformations.
