A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander Economics With Olan’s past and Marvin’s

With Olan’s past and Marvin’s present colliding

long-buried stories of enslaved people who dared to fight back

the girl who disappeared and hasn’t been seen in more than six years

and now it is my duty to do everything in my power to undo it

A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander Economics With Olan’s past and Marvin’sVolume 1, The Timeless Way of Building, lays the foundation of the series. It presents a new theory of architecture, building, and planning which forms the bsis for a new traditional post industrial architecture, created by the people. Read it for inspiration; as a practicing planner, an educator, or a student, you cannot help but be challenged and stimulated by this book.
