Analogous Unfolding

A full demonstration of an analogous use of an unfolding sequence.

It's always best to use a specific unfolding sequence for something you want to build. But what if that isn't available? Through the power of your mind -- and the general developmental principles within a good sequence like that of Gatemaker (written by Christopher Alexander and Greg Bryant) -- you can build anything of the same complexity, through metaphor or analogy, translating the ideas appropriately. You'll still start from broader decisions, and work your way towards detailed decisions, differentiating the space in a balanced and beautiful way, applying the ideas systemically at each step.
