The broad headings -Alexander’s hypotheses
1. Public discussion
places needed – sense of belonging, of self-actualization
2. Places for young
people to meet and challenge each other constructively (Erikson’s identity vs role confusion).
3. Schools open to
the city, not closed. (Adolescent feels more connected with society –versus
alienation)
4. Small group work
stations – happier, more productive
5. Split work and
play – leisure needed for sense of belonging
6. Windows in
workplaces – access to outside world
7. Old age islands –
old people like to live with other old people
8. Group houses –
where people live in communes (nuclear family unit too small for adequate
support)
9. Homes link closely
with street – people will feel more connected with neighbors, safer and happier
10. Homes with walls
that can be moved. Adaptable and flexible homes.
11. Teenage
room/cottage/studio for self-exploration – Ericson identity need
12. Child care – each
house opens off a common area for supervised play
13. City hall small
and easily accessible
14. Religious
institutions open to community – public displays
15. Frequently placed
trees.
16. Better funeral
facilities with longer ceremonies.
