The process to design for is not stability or predictability, but promoting natural processes

Key design philosophy of the talk, rejecting engineered stability in favor of dynamic, process-driven restoration.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

process, not designconcept0.824
The idea that the life of a building comes from the process of its creation, not from a preconceived design on paper.
What PROBLEM have you been solving for?question0.796
Question prompting the audience to identify the primary degradation symptoms (riverscape degradation, structural starvation).
It is, ultimately, the process, not the design, which gives life to a building.claim0.773
Emphasizes process over blueprint.
If design and construction processes are living processes, each part will become itself, adapted to local conditions and individual people.claim0.769
Core assertion that living process translates unique place and person into unique form.
processesconcept0.763
Represented by boxes in process theory; transformations that take systems as inputs/outputs
These step-by-step processes are very simple, virtually unhampered by concepts or by too much thought about the intricacy of design.claim0.755
The commonality underlying all the examples of living process.
The design problem is redefined not around building a structure to last, but promoting processesclaim0.754
Assertion from the NRCS specification sheet that LTPBR shifts focus from structural permanence to process promotion.
Window layout processmethod0.753
Sequence for placing windows during construction to make them as beautiful as possible in relation to the whole.
