Description
This four-volume work is the culmination of theoretical studies begun three decades ago and published in a series of books in which Christopher Alexander has advanced a new theory of architecture and matter which has attracted interestthroughout the world. He has tried to grasp the fundamental truths of traditional ways of building and to understand especially what gives life and beauty and true functionality to buildings and towns.
The four books are connected and interdependent. Each can be read by itself, and sheds light on one facet of the problem of living structure: First, the definition; second, the process of generating living structure; third, the practical vision of a world made of living structure and fourth, the cosmological underpinnings and implications caused by the idea of living structure. The full meaning of the four books and the architectural, social, and cosmological scheme they introduce, can only be understood by seeing the interplay of these four complementary points of view.
