"Problem:
Old people need #oldpeople, but they also need the young, and #youngpeople need contact with the old.
Solution:
Create dwellings for some 50 old people in every neighborhood. Place these dwellings in three rings ...
...1. A central core with cooking and nursing provided.
2. #Cottages near the core.
3. Cottages further out from the core, mixed among the other #houses of the neighborhood, but never more than 200 yards from the core.
... in such a way that the 50 houses together form a single coherent swarm, with its own clear center, but interlocked at its periphery with other ordinary houses of the #neighborhood." Christopher Alexander, A Pattern Language #patternlanguage #christopheralexander
