Timeless Way of Building Christopher Alexander
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

Notes on “The Timeless Way of Building” by Christopher Alexander. I've also been reading A Timeless Way of Building (ATWB). Lately I've been looking at a lot of houses. The proper answer to the question, “How is a farmer able to make a new barn?” lies in the fact that every barn is made of patterns. The cover is soft in an unusually nice way. As usual I'm going to quote from a few pages. A thing which has the quality without a name never fit any image exactly. When you first pick up “The Timeless Way of Building” by Christopher Alexander, the book feels uncharacteristically comfortable in your hands. I just re-read A Timeless Way of Building this week end; Christopher Alexander was pursuing the same issue. How do we cultivate society so that everyone knows why and how to create excellent architecture and cities? Is an excellent book by Christopher Alexander (isbn 0-19-502402-8).
