5.0 out of 5 stars Description of a project which shows Christopher Alexander's Design Philosophy 17 April 2012
By Robert Koechley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Christopher Alexander was a revolutionary thinker who produced a series of seminal works offering a new vision of community, architecture and the built environment.

Although written about architecture, his Pattern Language is a sort of bible among the highest level of web designers. His concept of inter-dependant modules is now how most large scale code projects are conceived.

Earlier books in this series are; The Natural Way of Building, the epic Pattern Language, The production of Houses, The Oregon Experiment (describing Alexander's planning applied to a large public institution), and Das Linz Cafe, his most accessible, and applicable description of a single, temporary building Alexander was commissioned to build for the Linz Design Expo. Reading this out of print book is a clear illustration of Alexander's thinking and proceess play out in the real world.

in his Whole Earth Catalog in the early 70's, Stewart Brand wrote that the Pattern Language was his choice for a permanently valuable book.
