The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe (4 Volume Set) - Hardcover
The four volumes of The Nature of Order explore the thesis that living structure depends on features which make a close connection with the human self, and that only living structure has the capacity to support human well-being. The four complementary views give a masterful prescription for the processes which allow us to generate living structure in the world. They show us what such a world must gradually come to look like, and describe the modified cosmology in which "life" as an essential quality, together with our inner connection to the world around us-towns, streets, buildings, and artifacts-are central to a proper understanding of the scientific nature of the universe.
". . . Five hundred years is a long time, and I don't expect many of the people I interview will be known in the year 2500. Christopher Alexander may be an exception."-David Creelman, author, interviewer and editor, HR Magazine, Toronto
