this talk that christopher alexander did a number of years ago is quite interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98LdFA-_zfA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98LdFA-_zfA one of the interesting things is that he had really moved on from "patterns" and was looking for something more intrinisic or "atomic" about design.
