This book, with a 1968 copyright by [[http://www.patternlanguage.com/aims/intro-2.html|The Center for Environmental Structure]] at the University of California at Berkeley, is authored by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Alexander|Christopher Alexander]], [[http://ced.berkeley.edu/ced/faculty-staff/sara-ishikawa|Sara Ishikawa]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Silverstein|Murray Silverstein]]. | |
| |
The 64 patterns are summarized as follows: | |
| |
1. [[Small Target Areas]]: The multi-service center servces a target area with population of 34,000 ± 20%. | |
2. [[Location]]: Service centers are located within two blocks of a major intersection. | |
3. [[Size Based on Population]]: The total size of an MSC which services a target area of population N, is .9N square feet. | |
4. [Community Territory]]: The service center is divided into two zones, services and community territory; community territory includes space for community projects and a public area. | |
5. [[Small Services without Red Tape]]: No one service has a staff size greater than 12; each service is physically cohesive and autonomous; the services are loosely organized with respect to each other. | |
6. [[Expansion]]: the number of services can grow and the size of any one service can grow; but the relationship of all services to community territory does not change. | |
7. [[Entrance locations]]: The building's main entrances are immediately visible to a person approaching, by foot or by car, from any direction. | |
8. [[Parking]]: Either parking is provided for everyone [this will require .5N square feet for a target population of N], or there is emergency parking only; staff-only parking is never provided. | |
