Composition provenance
Curation requiredStone Houses, Traditional NeighbourhoodSelected component
Fills bldgs. The archetype is named 'Stone Houses, Traditional Neighbourhood' and declares target land_cover.bldgs, place 'sweden' and representativeness 'regional'. It declares no attaches_to, and its construction slot takes records/constructions/gothenburg--bjork2002--traditional-stone-neighbourhood-city-late-1800s-early-1900s.
City centre Selected component
Fills paved. The archetype is named 'City centre ' and declares target land_cover.paved, place 'helsinki' and representativeness 'city'. It declares no attaches_to.
Assessment findings
| Composite identity | supported The composite is named 'Traditional Stone House Neighbourhood' and described as 'Traditional City Centre Stone House Neighbourhood, early 1900s'. The bldgs slot takes archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--stone-houses-traditional-neighbourhood, named 'Stone Houses, Traditional Neighbourhood', whose construction is records/constructions/gothenburg--bjork2002--traditional-stone-neighbourhood-city-late-1800s-early-1900s, named 'Traditional Stone Neighbourhood City, late 1800s-early 1900s'. The paved slot takes archetypes/surfaces/paved/helsinki--city-centre, named 'City centre '. Stone, the city centre and the early 1900s each appear in what the composite actually assembles, so the label identifies it correctly. |
|---|---|
| Composite target | supported The composite's own target is 'typology', which is what every entry under archetypes/typologies declares, and each slot takes a component declared for it: the bldgs slot takes an archetype declaring target land_cover.bldgs and the paved slot an archetype declaring target land_cover.paved. Neither component declares attaches_to; in this database that field is carried only by the profile records under db/records/profiles, so slot fit here is judged on the components' declared target. |
| Own parameter values | not applicable The composite declares no parameters block of its own, so it asserts no value beyond the two components it selects. |
| Composition rationale | not applicable The composite claims no composition source, and the repository records no published rationale for pairing a Swedish building surface with a Helsinki city-centre paved surface. The components' own sources belong to their assessments, not to this review. |
| Place applicability | curation required The composite claims place 'sweden'. The bldgs component declares place 'sweden' and rests on a Gothenburg construction, so the building side is Swedish. The paved component declares place 'helsinki', which db/places.yml resolves to country 'finland'. A Swedish paved archetype exists, archetypes/surfaces/paved/sweden--asphalt-mixed-city, place 'sweden' and representativeness 'regional', and four other Swedish typologies take it, so the Finnish surface was not forced by an empty record set. What the Finnish surface supplies is a city-centre paved description, which the Swedish alternative, named 'Asphalt, mixed city', is not, and this composite describes a city centre; the same Helsinki surface also fills the paved slot of archetypes/typologies/finland--cbd. Whether a Swedish city-centre typology should take the Swedish regional surface or the Finnish city-centre one is a decision the composite does not record, and a maintainer must make it. |
| Representativeness | curation required The composite declares representativeness 'regional'. The bldgs component declares 'regional' and matches it; the paved component declares 'city'. A Helsinki city surface therefore stands in for half of a Swedish country-scale typology, extending its claimed reach without anything in the composite recording the decision. |
| Slot and season mapping | supported An assembly of two existing surface archetypes into the two slots the typology format defines; the composite produces no value of its own. A typology carries no season and no wet/dry mapping of its own, because those live inside the surface components' ohm blocks, so there is no seasonal mapping to check at this level. |
| Completeness and uniqueness | supported The assembly is complete: scripts/migrate_to_records.py maps only the legacy Types table's 'Buildings' and 'Paved' columns into a typology's uses block, and both slots are filled. The bldgs component is used by no other typology; the paved component is shared with archetypes/typologies/finland--cbd, which is reuse of a curated surface rather than duplication. The nearest composite is archetypes/typologies/sweden--traditional-neighborhood, which shares this one's place 'sweden', representativeness 'regional', profile_type 'Residential' and period 'Pre80' and is described as 'Traditional neighborhood (Stone houses)' although its own bldgs component is named 'Brick House, Traditional Neighbourhood'. The two select different components in both slots and carry distinct legacy_ids (12251392 here against 12240002 there), so they are separate entries rather than a migration duplicate; it is the other composite's description, not this one's, that overlaps where the contents do not. |
Scientific note
The composite says what it assembles and assembles what it says on the building side. Its bldgs component is Swedish, regional, named 'Stone Houses, Traditional Neighbourhood' and built on a Gothenburg construction named 'Traditional Stone Neighbourhood City, late 1800s-early 1900s', which matches the entry's own 'early 1900s' and its city-centre framing. The paved component is Finnish. archetypes/surfaces/paved/helsinki--city-centre declares place 'helsinki' and representativeness 'city', so a Swedish country-scale typology takes half its surface description from one Finnish city. Unlike the building slot, this one had a Swedish option: archetypes/surfaces/paved/sweden--asphalt-mixed-city is Swedish and regional and four sibling Swedish typologies use it. Why it was not used is not recorded anywhere, and this review does not infer it from the two names. That is a defensible trade of country for urban form, but it is nowhere stated, and it leaves an entry claiming regional reach while half of it is a city row. A maintainer should either record on the composite that urban form governs this slot and accept the cross-border substitution, or narrow what the entry claims. Neither question requires touching a component's values, which remain subject to their own assessments.
