Abstract

Since 'A Pattern Language' was published in 1977, it has inspired students, practitioners and communities to create places that reflect a timeless human quality. The purpose of a pattern is to succinctly document, communicate, and implement commonly occurring and well-functioning ideas in a particular setting, to offer anyone the ability to replicate them in their everyday environment. Despite this, methods for identifying patterns and collating them into a language remain ambiguous. This paper advances a grounded approach to identifying patterns and collating them into a language through the study of cohousing residents' participation in shared outdoor spaces. As well as outlining a grounded pattern methodology, the research aims to test the pattern language as a collaborative tool for residential communities and design practitioners and explore the wider contribution to urban theory.
