The nature of order: An essay on the art of building and the nature of universe - The Phenomenon of life - Berkeley, California The Center for Environmental Structure, California 2014 - x, 476 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm. - Center for Environmental Structure series .
In the first volume in this four volume masterwork, Alexander proposes a scientific view of the world in which all-space-matter has perceptible degrees of life and sets this understanding of order as an intellectual basis for a new architecture. With this view as a foundation, we can ask precise questions about what must be done to create more life in our world - whether in a room...a humble doorknob..a neighbourhood...or even in a vast region.
