Looking for community input on "Hierarchies of Scale"

[Lev Eliezer Israel]

PlacePatterns.org has gotten a boost with the patterns that Gary Zuker has written in the process of building a house for his family with APL in hand.   

He'd love to get input from our small community on these 12 patterns.  You can see them on the front page of the website, along with the beautiful pictures of the home that he built.   

In particular, he'd love feedback on "Hierarchy of Scale" - one of patterns that he feels has not quite come to its finest expression.  Take a look at http://placepatterns.org/pattern/hierarchy-of-scale/ .  Please do offer feedback, and if you have any technical questions, reach out to me.

Hello Lev, Gary, and the rest of the group.

No, the Hierarchy of Scale pattern does not appear in the Pattern
Language, because it was formulated by Christopher afterwards. It
forms a central concern of the Nature of Order. There is a lot of
discussion in Vol 1. I have devoted several essays on it as well: see
the first 3 chapters of A Theory of Architecture.

I should not write any revisions myself, but Gary can certainly
enhance his Pattern after reading these references. Look also at the
first pages of these online articles
