19. Architecture is a system of order

20. Complex Adaptive System Architecture a Spatial Knowledge of Nature and the Universe

21. It is an organic, in-form system, a structure and model required for any action a human thinks, builds, or produces. It is a sustainable complex adaptive architecture that provides synergetic systems of order from models taken from nature and the universe; it creates spaces that are mathematically driven from a complex tensegrity structure called: The Geometry of All". It is an adaptive space/form relationship that is constantly transforming to create symmetry, balance, rhythm, proportion and harmony. It is a spatial knowledge of relationships, patterns, proportions, ratios, motions, and mechanisms found in nature and the universe.. It connects the natural environment with the man-made environment through a series of tensegrity spins and cycles that are self- organizing, efficient, and adaptive. This complex adaptive system architecture transforms and provides guidelines as the natural forces and humans’ physical/physiological needs demand. CASA space/forms are frameworks that allow dual existence that open a new time space perception of realities and communication exchanged. CASA spaces are cognitive, qualifiable and quantifiable. The experience of CASA space/forms are in frequency with the brain mechanisms, providing harmonic relationships. This novel understanding and creation of space/form is a new frontier in our human evolution. It will transform the use of living spaces, networking relationship, communication exchange, knowledge transfer, behavior learning, thought structure, healing movements, knowledge management, code manipulation, human interactivity, ecological energy, and other ontologism.
