• 15 Configurational Transformationsmethod0.827
  Formal descriptive system for the adaptive processes by which centers in structures reconfigure and enhance themselves during morphogenesis.
• the fifteen transformationsconcept0.823
  Same as wholeness‑preserving transformations, named explicitly by Alexander.
• The fifteen transformations provide the base transformations from which, in practice, all structure-preserving transformation are made.claim0.754
  Assertion that the fifteen specific transformation types form a complete palette for all structure-preserving differentiation.
• The fifteen transformations provide us with a natural 'alphabet' of living process.claim0.742
  Asserts that the fifteen structure-preserving transformations can serve as elementary units for generating living form.
• All eleven principles are, of course, embodiments of the fifteen transformations.claim0.728
  States that the teaching principles directly instantiate the underpinning theory.
• Each of the fifteen transformations designates one way in which a structure may be transformed into another structure, while increasing its life.quote0.725
  Defines the role of the transformations in generating living structure.
• Contrast Transformationconcept0.693
  A transformation that sharpens and increases the distinction between two types of centers, creating stronger polarity.
• The sketches show precisely the kinds of forms which must in all likelihood follow from any program in which these fifteen transformations are progressively unfolded.claim0.687
  Asserts that the chapter's sketches represent the necessary geometric character of unfolded buildings.
