This is pattern No.104 ‘Site Repair’ from Alexander’s book A Pattern Language. He says,”buildings must always be built on those parts of the land which are in the worst condition, not the best”. This is illustrated by the Miao people of Xijiang village who build their homes on stilts making the most of the poor land, leaving the best for growing crops.
