A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction - Book by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa et al

"A Pattern Language" introduces a holistic approach to architecture, emphasizing the importance of design patterns that foster human connection and well-being. With 253 patterns, it spans cities, buildings, and homes, aiming to create environments that feel both functional and comfortable. The book challenges modernist, top-down approaches to design, focusing instead on organic growth and local solutions. Patterns encourage adaptability, allowing spaces to evolve and thrive over time. Alexander’s work is influential in urban planning and architecture, proposing that designs should be based on human experience and cultural context.
