Christopher Alexander – Patterns in Architecture (1996) [video]
Gotta plug my favorite book of all time here: “A Pattern Language”, by this speaker, Christopher Alexander et al.<p>Tons of small, progressive, human-centered hand-drawn architecture patterns in a hard-bound brick of bible-thin pages.<p>The book inspired code patterns that you hear about all the time in engineering, and is a lovely way to think about better cities and homes.
