PAUL AND PERCIVAL GOODMAN COMMUNITAS, 1947 “Communitas is explicitly organized as a tree: it is divided into four concentric major zones, the innermost being a commercial center, the next a university, the third residential and medical, and fourth open country. Each of these is further subdivided: the commercial center is consisting of individual houses, but of apartment blocks, each of these containing further individual dwelling units. Finally, the open country is divided into three segments: forest preserves, agriculture, and vacation-lands. The overall organization is a tree.” (in: CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDER, “A CITY IS NOT A TREE”) View Larger
