Downing's designs

Downing's designs refer to a set of principles for creating architectural or social systems that promote resilience, efficiency, and adaptability. They emphasize modularity, where components can be independently changed or replaced, and redundancy, ensuring that if one part fails, others can pick up the slack. These designs often focus on decentralization, reducing reliance on a single point of control, which enhances stability. Overall, Downing's principles aim to create systems—whether physical, organizational, or social—that are flexible, scalable, and better equipped to handle change or unexpected disruptions.
