 {"_type":"issue","id":"ecuador-mcq","title":"Condense official brief into genuine human-needs facts","description":"Why: CLAUDE.md step 2 requires distilling the official Stage 1 call documents down to\nwhat serves genuine human needs. The first pass of this task under-weighted one thing:\n\"human needs\" framing must not be used to reduce the National Collection itself to a\nbare scale number - the actual holdings are a legitimate, central program driver (what\npeople will actually encounter) and later narratives, especially the indigenous/\ncommunity stakeholder one, need to reference real, specific heritage content rather than\nan abstract \"collection\". Also new source material has arrived: Nikos Salingaros\ncontributed ref/Casa de la Memoria Andina - National Museum Narrative-Kimi.txt, a\nproject-data-plus-narrative document that already states site/program parameters\n(sometimes rounded differently than the official brief, e.g. \"13,000 sqm\" vs the\nofficial 13,004.65 sqm) - reconcile any discrepancies against the official brief rather\nthan silently picking one.\n\nWhat: Read ref/Muna Technical Bases for Stage 1.txt (Overview, National Museum of\nEcuador history/mission, National Collection reserve breakdown, Location section) and\nref/Muna ANNEX-1/ANNEX-2 (confirm ANNEX-2 is administrative-only beyond blank\nteam-portfolio tables). Write ref/brief-condensed.md with two clearly separate parts:\n\n1. FACTS: institutional mission/history, site data (13,004.65 sqm plot, Av. Eloy Alfaro\n   / Av. de la Republica, Inaquito, La Pradera Urban Action Unit, opposite La Carolina\n   park, Metro/Trolleybus access), minimum 25,000 sqm building area, broad program\n   categories (exhibition, conservation and research, education, public areas,\n   landscape). Note there is no detailed room-by-room spatial program in the source\n   docs.\n\n2. THE NATIONAL COLLECTION (do not reduce to numbers only): for each of the 5 reserves,\n   give both the scale AND representative named/typed content, since this is what\n   visitors and community stakeholders will actually encounter:\n   - Archaeology Reserve: 62,103 pieces - lithic tools/obsidian points through Manteno\n     stone seats and the Tolita Sun.\n   - Colonial and Republican Reserve: 5,353 pieces - colonial altarpieces, sculptures by\n     Bernardo de Legarda, works by Joaquin Pinto.\n   - Modern and Contemporary Art Reserve: 2,538 works - Luis A. Martinez, Araceli\n     Gilbert, and other 20th/21st-century Ecuadorian artists.\n   - Human Sciences Library: ~210,000 bibliographic items (1480-present), including the\n     Jijon y Caamano and Isaac Barrera collections - a major, currently under-served\n     holding, not just an adjunct to the galleries.\n   - Historical Archive: 918,673 documents - colonial manuscripts, photographs, musical\n     scores, sound/radio recordings, cartography, posters.\n   Also carry forward the brief's own framing: the museum currently exhibits under 1% of\n   its collection due to space/infrastructure limits - this is a core human-needs problem\n   the new building must solve, distinct from square-footage alone.\n\nCross-check both parts against ref/Casa de la Memoria Andina - National Museum\nNarrative-Kimi.txt's stated project parameters and flag (don't silently resolve) any\nnumeric discrepancies for the chassis-extraction task to settle.","acceptance_criteria":"ref/brief-condensed.md has a distinct National Collection section naming representative holdings per reserve (not just counts), keeps the under-1%-exhibited problem, and flags any numeric discrepancies with the Salingaros narrative rather than silently overriding either source","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","assignee":"Bruno Postle","owner":"bruno@postle.net","created_at":"2026-07-18T19:38:05Z","created_by":"Bruno Postle","updated_at":"2026-07-18T20:03:35Z","started_at":"2026-07-18T20:00:13Z","closed_at":"2026-07-18T20:03:35Z","close_reason":"brief-condensed.md, critique-failures.md, and CLAUDE.md output-format decision all written","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"ecuador-mcq","depends_on_id":"ecuador-7vi","type":"parent-child","created_at":"2026-07-18T20:47:35Z","created_by":"Bruno Postle","metadata":"{}"}],"dependency_count":0,"dependent_count":1,"comment_count":0}

+{"_type":"issue","id":"ecuador-vay","title":"Generalize a reusable form-language prompt template","description":"The original Postle \u0026 Salingaros paper (buildings-15-02400-v2.txt) only used a\npattern-language fragment as LLM context. This project's key methodological\naddition is pairing that with a form-language grammar (tectonic/spatial/color/\nornament rules) - see ref/Ecuadorian_Form_Language_Grammar.md as the concrete\nexample output for this project.\n\nWe now have the evidence needed to generalize this into a reusable instrument:\n- docs/salingaros-form-language-prompt.md - the actual prompts Salingaros used\n  to generate the Ecuadorian form-language grammar (initial + follow-up,\n  iterating toward: research vernacular/historical building images across a\n  region, synthesize into a generative grammar rather than a style to copy,\n  narrow to the specific project's climate/site while drawing vocabulary from\n  the wider region, and produce a structured document meant to feed a later\n  narrative-generation prompt rather than to generate images directly).\n- ref/Salingaros-Chapter-11-Two-Languages-for-Architecture.md - the theoretical\n  basis (pattern language = human/organizational rules, form language =\n  geometric/tectonic rules; the two must be linked or the pattern language\n  can't connect to built form).\n- ref/Ecuadorian_Form_Language_Grammar.md - the worked example: its structure\n  (tectonic sequence, spatial lexicon, composition syntax, color/ornament\n  systems with coded references like CR1/OP2/OP4) is the target shape for the\n  template's output.\n\nNext step: distill these into a prompt TEMPLATE (with placeholders for region,\nclimate, site, and building-typology specifics) that could be handed to an LLM\nto generate a form-language grammar for any locale/project, in the same\nstructural format as the Ecuadorian example. This is a generalization of the\nmethod, likely relevant to a future paper or revision of the Buildings 2025\nmethodology alongside the existing pattern-language-only approach.","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","owner":"bruno@postle.net","created_at":"2026-07-24T18:29:07Z","created_by":"Bruno Postle","updated_at":"2026-07-24T18:29:07Z","dependency_count":0,"dependent_count":0,"comment_count":0}

For the images to read as one coherent building rather than 13 unrelated renders, the prompts need a shared visual style guide (materials, color palette, massing, ornament placement, mood, rendering medium) repeated/embedded consistently in every individual prompt, plus a scene-specific description grounded in the exact passage of the narrative it illustrates.\n\nWhat: Produce a documented set of detailed image-generation prompts, one per illustration placeholder in docs/counter-proposal.md, each prompt self-contained (includes the full shared style/consistency context, not just a cross-reference) so it can be handed individually to an image generator.
