5.0 out of 5 stars A practical approach to reinventing human habitats, April 14, 2005
By 
Rik Ahlberg (Jamaica Plain, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe, Book 3 - A Vision of a Living World (Center for Environmental Structure, Vol. 11) (Hardcover)
Alexander's long-awaited third book in the four-volume Nature of Order series finally provides a practical guide to creating great places based on his concepts of "centers", "wholeness" and "structure-preserving transformations."

Page after page of photos and diagrams give weight to Alexander's process-oriented approach to building.

This tome should be required reading for anyone who has wondered whether there is a way to reinvent our cities and suburbs away from "sprawl" and into vibrant, living places.
