Rule establishing the garden for each house as a positive center after house volume, defining the lot boundary from the garden's necessities before lot lines are drawn.

Guasare Step 1: Identifying the Boundary and Main Centermethod0.809
First step of the Guasare neighborhood process: establishing the neighborhood boundary and locating its main center in the best spot on the landform.
Guasare Step 2: Placing Smaller Streets to Feed the Main Centermethod0.807
Rule allowing any small street to be added feeding into the main center and the center of gravity of empty areas.
Guasare Step 3: Street Swelling to Form Local Centermethod0.787
At suitable places the street opens slightly to form a swelling or local center.
Guasare Step 4: Establishing House Volumes to Form Streetmethod0.784
Rule establishing a volume for each house at the time the street is laid out, so the street is formed as a center by forthcoming house volumes.
The 10-step Guasare process generates a dense field of living centers in which every bit of space — street, lot, garden, courtyard, house — forms a coherent center, a result achievable only by this dynamic sequential processfinding0.782
Demonstration via simulation that the defined process produces complex, organic, center-rich morphology.
To make each garden a center and each house a center, lots must be composed of two sub-centers (house area + garden area), producing irregular zig-zag lots — not simple rectangles as in conventional subdivisionsclaim0.748
Alexander's claim that center-generating requirements force unconventional lot geometry.
The Guasare simulation showed that the defined process generates coherent, complex, and variable morphology for houses, streets, lots and gardens even without influence from external factors such as land and topographyfinding0.740
Key validation that the process itself — not just site conditions — generates living structure.
At each step, doing the simplest thing that can be done to intensify existing centers will produce living structure.hypothesis0.729
