“Why is it that people don’t dance in the streets today? All over the earth, people once danced in the streets … ‘dancing in the street’ is an image of supreme joy. … People remember how to dance; everyone takes up an instrument; many hundreds form little bands. …
… the right setting can actualize it and give it roots. … a platform for the musicians … hard surface for dancing … places to sit and lean for people who want to watch and rest … the whole thing set somewhere where people congregate.”
— from A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa, and Murray Silverstein (Oxford University Press, 1977).
