Bruno Postle f864004e0a Reorganize repo into method/ + projects/{ecuador-museum,harbor-house}
The repo outgrew a single-project layout: the reusable form-language
template and the draft paper about the method were mixed in with
Ecuador-specific ref/narratives/docs, and a second real project (Harbor
House) had been growing inside templates/examples/ despite no longer
being just a template demo. Split into:

- method/ - the generalized form-language prompt template and the
  paper about the method, project-agnostic
- projects/ecuador-museum/ - the original counter-proposal (ref/,
  narratives/, docs/, unchanged in content)
- projects/harbor-house/ - promoted out of templates/examples/, now a
  peer project with its own ref/narratives/docs, including previously
  untracked pattern subset, narrative, and illustration material

Root CLAUDE.md now covers the shared method and repo-wide conventions;
each project gets its own CLAUDE.md with project-specific brief,
inputs, and status. Updated all internal path references (paper.md,
outline.md, per-project CLAUDE.md, settings.local.json). Dropped stray
scratch files superseded by proper copies (all.txt, the already-
converted pattern-language PDF).

Nikos Salingaros' initial prompt:
Attached is a pattern language for a National Museum in Quito, Ecuador.
Location and area of the property is Av. Eloy Alfaro and Av. de la República,
Iñaquito parish, Quito - Pichincha - Ecuador, 13,000 m² site. Minimum projected
area for the new building is 25,000 m². Exhibits include historical,
archaeological, and artistic artifacts. Users are an average of 400,000
visitors per month. Write a narrative description showing how the building is
experienced, describe the look and feel and the ornamental treatment. Use the
two attached documents as constraints: "A pattern language Ecuador Museum", and
"Ecuadorian form language grammar". I want a descriptive text of the new museum
building, paying attention to how a visitor experiences it.
Nikos Salingaros' second prompt:
Your design narrative for the new National Museum of Ecuador is fine, but
another LLM wrote an even better one. Here it is. Try to combine the two
descriptions by reinforcing the good points using the other text. You may
decide to revise some of your text where it is weak or missing ideas and
details. Write me an improved design narrative so that I can publish it in
ArchDaily, along with the relevant documents: 1. Pattern Language, 2. Form
Language, and 3. project brief. The Design Narrative evolved from the Pattern
and Form Languages plus the project brief. Mainstream architects know about
none of these concepts, so this is a revolutionary new method that takes a very
short time to results. I need to convince readers of ArchDaily of the
importance of all these methods together.
