ArchitectureWeek Description
This four-volume essay is a prescription for the processes that allow us to generate living structure in the world. In Book 2, Alexander explains the kinds of processes that are capable of generating living structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in traditional society, and then contrasted with present-day building processes.
