Linus' Rules of Growth


As nature has the simplest generative systems, it was looked into to aid the project and its system design theory. Using the analogy of human cells, the functions of the cells were investigated, and adopted in the system design theory for the project.

Honeycomb Cul-de-Sac

In “honeycomb housing” small courtyard neighbourhoods of 5 to 16 cluster houses form cul-de-sac communities of 42 houses or less, which in turn form part of a larger neighbourhood of up to 300 houses. The honeycomb concept was first introduced in Malaysia as an alternative to terrace houses and the predominantly rectilinear form of residential layouts. It seeks to offer a community lifestyle that many Malaysians used to enjoy in their childhood but in an urban setting.

Project Relevance
Linus' modules could be the houses whereas Sjors' pathways could be network path. This creates open spaces which acts as a central common area between a few modules, allowing active interaction between the users. The pattern could be replicated on different scales, from a few modules to many.
