A City is Not a Tree: 50th Anniversary Edition
ISBN: 9789463864817 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In 1965, the architect and design theorist Christopher Alexander published a landmark theoretical critique of modern urban design, and by extension, modern design in general. His critique was different from others of the day in that it was not based on a social or political argument, but rather, on a structural analysis, rooted in then-emerging insights from the fields of mathematics and cognition. Here, published again on its fiftieth anniversary, is Alexander's classic text, together with new interpretive commentaries and discussions by leading theorists and practitioners. This volume is...

The Process of Creating Life: The Nature of Order, Book 2: An Essay of the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe
ISBN: 9780972652926 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 631 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In book two of this four-volume work, Alexander explains in detail the kinds of process that are capable of generating living structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in traditional society, and then contrasted with present-day building processes. The comparison reveals deep and shocking problems which pervade the present day planning and construction of buildings. Pervasive changes are needed to create a world in which living process - and hence living structure - are possible; these are changes which are...

After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are not publishing a major statement in the form of three works which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building, and planning, which will, we hope, replace existing ideas and practices entirely."

Notes on the Synthesis of Form
ISBN: 9780674627512 / Angielski / Miękka / 1964 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. "These notes are about the process of design: the process of inventing things which display new physical order, organization, form, in response to function." This book, opening with these words, presents an entirely new theory of the process of design. In the first part of the book, Mr. Alexander discusses the process by which a form is adapted to the context of human needs and demands that has called it into being. He shows that such an adaptive process will be successful only if it proceeds piecemeal instead of all at once. It is for this reason that forms from traditional...

In book three of this four-volume work, Alexander presents hundreds of his own buildings and those of other contemporaries who have used methods consistent with the theory of living process Nearly seven hundred pages of projects, built and planned in many countries over a thirty-year period, illustrate the impact of living process on the world.

The Timeless Way of Building
ISBN: 9780195024029 / Angielski / Twarda / 1979 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong. Yet the power of present-day ideas is so great that many feel uncomfortable, even afraid, to say openly that they dislike what is happening, because they are afraid to seem foolish, afraid perhaps that they will be laughed at.
Now, at last, there is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself. The Timeless Way of Building is the introductory volume in the...
