Governance

Custodial Governance

Governance is the exercised authority by which institutional order is held across time.

Lie Alonso exercises custodial governance over land, built form, and spatial systems where continuity is established as a governing condition.

Through governance, environments remain coherent, legitimate, and intact across succession and change.

Nature of Governance

Custodial governance concerns responsibility rather than activity.

It fixes the conditions under which environments remain intelligible as unified domains, regardless of occupation, adaptation, or generational transfer.

Governance operates continuously once authority is constituted.

Scope of Governance

Governance extends across integrated conditions of territory, architecture, and spatial order.

These conditions are held as a single system, bound by hierarchy, proportion, material discipline, and structural coherence.

Governance preserves alignment across land, built form, and spatial systems as an ordered whole.

Authority

Authority in governance is singular.

It binds land, architecture, and spatial order within a unified hierarchy, securing legitimacy and continuity across time.

Decisions are governed by long-horizon consequence and custodial responsibility.

Continuity

The purpose of governance is continuity.

Through custodial governance, environments endure across generations, remain resilient to change, and retain coherence beyond individual lifespans.

Governance holds order so that permanence may endure.

Relationship to the Charter

The principles by which governance is exercised are articulated in The Charter, which establishes the instruments under which custodial authority is held.
