An especially unique book in the realm of architectural literature, at times verging on prose poetry or religious scripture, Alexander suggests approaching building design with the goal of imbuing the final structure with a nameless quality or energy that allows it to feel alive.
It is considered the precursor to A Pattern Language, as it introduces many of the ideas later expounded upon in that book (primarily the concept of different design elements communicating as they intersect in a structure) and is widely regarded as one of the most important pieces of architectural and design text.
Hard cover.
Edition: 1979.
