concept
- Living processimplementsA generative process that repeatedly applies the fundamental process to create uniqueness and belonging in the environment
- The core iterative procedure that creates living structure; the engine of living process
Chapters (2)
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.
- This chapter defines the fundamental differentiating process as the core of all living processes in architecture and building, and outlines its form, application, and generality.
Methods (1)
method
- Sequence for creating modest, hidden, and workable parking lots; called by the meadow-making process.
Claims (1)
claim
- Concrete application of living process to fire-hazard buffer zones, illustrating how feeling guides and validates the outcome.
