Flexible construction management sequence

A sequence for contract and management that allows a house to be built organically within a fixed budget, under architect's direct control.

  • A generative sequence enabling families to lay out an organic, unique, and beautiful house suited to site and people.
  • Long sequence covering design and construction under a flexible management contract; can be broken into smaller snippet sequences.

chapter
  • This chapter argues that living processes must spread via small, independent morphogenetic sequences (snippable genes), using piecemeal evolution, a gene pool, and a network of interlinked sequences.
