Moudon describes “resilient” spaces which can be “reinterpreted and used in a variety of ways while keeping most of its original shape, dimensions, access, fenestration, finishes, and services. A resilient space should provide inhabitants with a great deal of control over what can be done with the space without undue modification.” See Anne Vernez Moudon, Built For Change: Neighborhood Architecture in San Francisco (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1986), 179.
