The Fundamentals of Integrating “the commons”: Application as community tissue or urban implant

Abstract

Clarifying the means by which we define and shape the commons, can become the platform from which we can seek to achieve community-scale integration in service to principles of sustainability. This paper presents the formulation of energy-related environmental variables — sun, light, wind and water — in “envelope form” for purposes of modeling alternative integrative patternings of communities as “tissue on the land”. Such modeling yields prototype designs of urban districts, urban blocks and/or individual buildings whose designs capitalize on passive energy manipulation as a “first order” response, thus structuring strategies for the integration of efficient “second order” metabolic systems which together provide the technical base for energy-related resource management.
