This book is more a philosophy of life than an architectural commentary. David Abbott gave it to me some years ago and I constantly refer to it. It is full of wisdom and inspiration, written in Alexander's beautiful prose style ... anyone who cares about the spaces we inhabit should read it.

A wonderful book that is more about life than building, every one should read to understand in inner meaning of the universe and how we really need to live and build for a better life we ourselves and we as others.
This is the book of Christopher Alexander that should be read as a companion with "A Pattern Language". It is more about the ideas (or as the review said, a philosophy) than the design priciples presenting in the "A Pattern Language". This book shows that the author is a philosopher as well as a designer (actually, he used to study mathematics). It is an inspirational book. Suitable for designers and any people who interested in their environments.
