Why, really? Each pattern is barely a page or two long (well, with a picture it spills over). The point is already to be brief, but also provide some context. Just reading one lets you muse on the concept and see if it fits with gig. The same technique was used in The Society of Mind for the same reason.

This is amazing, other than minor quibbles I think this has captured every aspect of what makes places at every scale good for humans to inhabit.
Once you read it you’ll recognize what makes a certain neighborhood feel so right. Or what makes some towns and villages perfect in terms of liveability.
And it carries through to what makes some houses feel instantly perfect.
It does seem very western though, I wonder how many of these patterns work in Asia or Africa for example?
