New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1979. Reprint. Later printing. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Highlighting/underlining. Cover has some wear and soiling. Several corners creased. Some ink comments noted.. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xv, [1], 552, [6] p. Illustrations. This was the first in a series of books which aimed to describe an entirely new attitude to architecture and planning. This is part of the output from the Center for Environmental Structure. Christopher Wolfgang Alexander (born October 4, 1936 in Vienna, Austria) is an architect noted for his theories about design as well as over 200 building projects around the world. He produced and validated (in collaboration with Sarah Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein) a "pattern language" to empower anyone to design and build at any scale. He moved from England to the United States in 1958, living and teaching in Berkeley, California from 1963. Alexander is often overlooked in the history and theory of architecture because his work intentionally disregards contemporary architectural discourse. However, Alexander's polyvalent approach to the discipline of architecture has had enormous ramifications. He is regarded as the father of the Pattern Language movement.
