“...towns and buildings will not be able to become alive, unless they are made by all the people in society...”
Sara Ishikawa, A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction

“If you spend eight hours of your day at work, and eight hours at home, there is no reason why your workplace should be any less of a community than your home.”
Sara Ishikawa, A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction

“...when you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must also repair the world around it, and within it, so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and more whole; and the thing which you make takes its place in the web of nature, as you make it.”
Sara Ishikawa, A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction
