- A technique to evaluate neighborhood health by measuring the area percentages of pedestrian, garden, building, and car space.

- After sliding paper swatches, the exact proportions that made the balance just right were discovered; any deviation destroyed the inner light.
- Claim that the area proportions alone diagnose neighborhood health.
- A conceptual scheme for analyzing and redesigning neighborhoods by balancing pedestrian space (yellow), gardens (green), buildings (gray), and car space (red).
- In color tests, a strong dark blue version created better harmony with the middle red and pale yellow than a weak blue.
- By testing swatches and paper mock-ups, these four colors, in varying proportions, brought the room to life.
