A Pattern Language book cover

A Pattern Language

Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)

Christopher Alexander

Discover a new language for designing environments in A Pattern Language. This book provides over 250 patterns to solve common design problems, from the height of a window sill to the amount of green space in a neighborhood. Explore the philosophy that humans rely on language to articulate and communicate design ideas, and learn how to create coherence in your own designs. This book is an essential resource for architects and designers alike.
