Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:

Summary 1: With occasional exceptions, make each indoor space or each position of a space, a rough rectangle, with roughly straight walls, near right angles in the corners, and a roughly symmetrical vault over each room.

Summary 2: Since a social space is convex - see the extensive argument in POSITIVE OUTDOOR SPACE - it must either have a wall which is concave or a wall which is perfectly straight.

Summary 3: Every wall with social spaces on both sides of it, must have straight walls, except where it is thick enough to be concave on both sides.

Summary 4: Polygon, rough rectangle, thick curved wall, exterior curved wall.

Summary 5: Avoid curved walls except where they are strictly necessary - WALL MEMBRANES.

Summary 6: Make the walls of each room generous and deep -THICK WALLS, CLOSETS BETWEEN ROOMS; and where it is appropriate, make them HALF-OPEN WALLS..
