According to Christopher Alexander et al. in A Pattern Language, it's about edges: you want buildings to have a non-zero-width "edge" to them that creates an additional zone that is (a) not the building (b) not the open space beyond it. APL has several nice examples of this.

Look at the building in the first photo in the article -- how much repetition there is in terms of shapes, architectural "molecules".
