Hillside.net - Home of the Patterns Library

edit Description

Christopher Alexander coined the term "PatternLanguage" to emphasize his belief that people had an innate ability for design that paralleled their ability to speak.

Chris's book A TimelessWayOfBuilding is the most instructive in describing his notion of a pattern language and its application to designing and building buildings and towns.

He defines a 'pattern' as a three part construct. First comes the 'context'; under what conditions does this pattern hold. Next are a 'system of forces'. In many ways it is natural to think of this as the 'problem' or 'goal'. The third part is the 'solution'; a configuration that balances the system of forces or solves the problems presented.
