A Pattern Language is a fascinating read, and an online copy can be found using DuckDuckGo if you persist.
It's interesting both from an architectural/societal point of view, as well as providing a great example of a wiki-like organisation of ideas and patterns that build on and enhance each other.
- fsloth 6y agoA physical copy can be ordered from Amazon with a credit card. Books are precious - there is nothing bad in buying them.
- crabmusket 6y agoI completely agree, but this book tends to be more expensive than people want to commit to out of passing curiosity. I hope that people would be led to purchase the book if they find it worthwhile. I appreciate your remark! (Though I would try to find somewhere other than Amazon to order it. Book_stores_ are also precious.)
- fsloth 6y agoI totally agree on all points! Sadly, in my area bookstores have more or less degenerated from their original format to gift and office supply shops selling sundry items, some of them perhaps being books. A good book shop would be precious.
- poulsbohemian 6y agoFWIW: If your local public library takes requests, Alexander's books would be good ones to encourage them to purchase. Not only is the subject matter good, but the books themselves are beautifully printed and bound.
