dbo:abstract
  • A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction is a 1977 book on architecture, urban design, and community livability. It was authored by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein of the Center for Environmental Structure of Berkeley, California, with writing credits also to Max Jacobson, Ingrid Fiksdahl-King and Shlomo Angel. Decades after its publication, it is still one of the best-selling books on architecture. The book creates a new language, what the authors call a pattern language derived from timeless entities called patterns. As they write on page xxxv of the introduction, "All 253 patterns together form a language." Patterns describe a problem and then offer a solution. In doing so the authors intend to give ordinary people, not only professionals, a way to work with their neighbors to improve a town or neighborhood, design a house for themselves or work with colleagues to design an office, workshop, or public building such as a school.

  • A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction è un saggio di architettura e urbanistica pubblicato nel 1977 da Christopher Alexander, e , appartenenti al di Berkeley in California. Venticinque anni dopo la sua pubblicazione è considerato ancora come uno dei maggiori bestseller d'architettura. Il libro illustra un nuovo linguaggio, che gli autori chiamano un "pattern language" derivato dalle entità atemporali chiamati pattern. Come loro scrivono a pagina xxxv dell'introduzione: "Tutti i 253 pattern insieme formano un linguaggio". I pattern descrivono un problema e poi offrono una soluzione. In questo modo gli autori intendono dare alle persone comuni, non solo ai professionisti, un modo di lavorare con i loro vicini per migliorare una città o un quartiere, progettare una casa per sé o lavorare con colleghi per progettare un ufficio, un'officina o un edificio pubblico come una scuola. Esso comprende 253 modelli, per esempioː La Comunità di 7000 (modello 12) distribuito su di un trattamento di diverse pagine; la pagina 71 dichiara: "Le persone non hanno voce in vigore in qualsiasi comunità con oltre 5.000-10.000 persone. È scritto come un insieme di problemi e soluzioni documentate. Questa è una forma che un teorico matematico o scienziato informatico potrebbe chiamare una grammatica generativa. I libri della serie sono: * (volume 1); * A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (volume 2); * (volume 3). (it)

dbp:text
  • The street cafe provides a unique setting, special to cities: a place people can sit lazily, legitimately, be on view, and watch the world go by […]. Encourage local cafes to spring up in each neighborhood. Make them intimate places, with several rooms, open to a busy path, so people can sit with coffee or a drink, and watch the world go by. Build the front of the cafe so a set of tables stretch out of the cafe, right into the street. (en)
  • […] we are saying a centralized entrance, funneling everyone in a building through it, has, in its nature, the trappings of control; while the pattern of many open stairs, leading off the public streets, direct to private doors, has, in its nature, the fact of independence, free comings and goings. (en)
  • […] each pattern represents our current best guess as to what arrangement of the physical environment will work to solve the problem presented. The empirical questions center on the problem—does it occur and is it felt in the way we describe it?—and the solution—does the arrangement we propose solve the problem? And the asterisks represent our degree of faith in these hypotheses. But of course, no matter what the asterisks say, the patterns are still hypotheses, all 253 of them—and are, therefore, all tentative, all free to evolve under the impact of new experience and observation. (en)
  • We believe ultra-lightweight concrete is one of the most-fundamental bulk materials of the future. (en)
  • At the core […] is the idea people should design their homes, streets, and communities. This idea […] comes from the observation most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects, but by the people. (en)
