PRODUCTIVE TYPOLOGIES CONCLUSION The generated tissue exhibits a diverse variety of topological clusters. When we read these and categorise them according to the relations shown in this section, rules can be extracted which can lead to an architectural language of the Productive Typologies.

In our example implementation, we were particularly in a highly articulated Collective Form, purposefully diagrammatic, where each unit maintains its identity. However, we do not suggest that this is the inevitable outcome of the data-set.

Our aim has been to extract rules or guidelines. The final implementation of these is still the work for the individual architect, and therefore these should be understood as a procedural set of design guidelines.

In dealing only with relationships, we believe that the extracted rules are flexible enough that it's possible to imagine that, with another interpretation of the rules, one can have a very different architectural form than the ones shown. What should be evident however, in comparing several architectural interpretations, is a likeness in the experience of sequential spaces, the relative density and production intensity.
