Elements of Style Syndicate content

March 17th, 2008 by mprove   

For a presentation I gave in January on the origin of patterns I found a quite condensed version of Christopher Alexander's latest book "The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe". The abridged version "Elements of Style" was featured by Wired in December 2003.
You can find my version at

Relevance of patterns

The patterns are often underestimated because they are considered as ornaments and not as signs. Last year Farshid Moussavi and Michael Kubo analysed this topic in their architecture book "The Function of Ornament".
