Life in Buildings

"Christopher Alexander, architect, author, and seminal late 20th Century design theorist, had an outsize influence far beyond the world of architecture. This film includes interviews with the man, as well as an overview of his ideas and built projects."

Notes:

  • He muses on technology aiding in the conversation a person would have with the environment to take it thru a series of transformations that maintain the integrity of the wholeness, building on that wholeness, and arriving at a new wholeness that also achives the goals of the person who will reside in that environment. This gives me Bret Victor vibes.
