method
- A sequence for contract and management that allows a house to be built organically within a fixed budget, under architect's direct control.
- Sequence for generating coherent, shaped outdoor space around a house, giving it living structure.
- Sequence that uses house volumes to shape public space, repairing the street for communal life.
- Sequence for placing windows during construction to make them as beautiful as possible in relation to the whole.
Chapters (1)
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.

- The iterative process of cutting a whole into parts using asymmetry and thin boundary bands to introduce levels of scale and boundaries; a purely geometric process that creates more profound living form
- The counterintuitive sequence of first locating the garden in the most beautiful place, then placing the house to support it; shows the enormous significance of order even for two steps.
- A housing development process where families meet, design houses with an architect, and share commons; partially living but constrained by existing professional norms.
