Críticas

Reseña del editor

The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong.

Now, at last, here is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself.
