This is why I'm addicted to Christopher Alexander, who is billed as an architect but wrote about the integration of architecture, site planning, streets, town planning, etc. As did Jane Jacobs. Both champion local decision-making, organic growth of places, and emphasize the integration of places on the street level.
- Duanemclemore 3y agoI've just recently re-read the Alexander chapter in Molly Steenson's book Architectural Intelligence. It's the most cogent and useful short reading I've found of Alexander. Well worth a look for the unfamiliar. Which you are not of course, but this comment is to help other folks find a good onramp.

- Duanemclemore 3y agoIt's great - enjoy!
