Proposed Essential Patterns of Place:
Influential as Enablers
of Collective Transformational Experience
draft by Sheryl Erickson and Tom Callanan
Proposed Patterns of Place:
- Integral to surrounding environment: physical,
social and cultural surrounds
- Immediacy of Nature
- Welcoming entry
- Coherence, order and organic
informal arrangement of furnishings
- Quality of natural light
- Balance of intimate
and common spaces
- Refuge and outlook
- Sensorially robust: sight,
sound, smell, texture
- Indoor and outdoor gathering spaces
along with in-between spaces
- Attention to detailing: juxtaposition
and composition of materials
- Archetypal elements evident:
thresholds, circles, pathways, fire, water, earth
- Tranquil,
quiet and reverential
- Food: healthy, light, fresh, locally
grow
- Sense of inviting transitions, directionality
and flow of spaces
