 MemeStreams | Comments on RAND Building Program | December, 1950
John Williams, head of the Mathematics Division, surfaced the idea for creating a building that would increase the probability of chance personal meetings.
Williams memo to RAND staff, "Comment on RAND Building Program," December 26, 1950, built the case for a system of closed courts or patios -- which led him to the theory of regular lattices, with average distances between points shown in a two-element matrix.
The resulting set of patios, he felt, would ensure the maximum number of chance meetings and at the same time enhance, for the RAND staff, the qualities of privacy, quiet, natural light and air, and spaciousness.
