Pattern Language Cont’d
Alexander (Timeless, p 312-317)
- Each pattern then, depends both on the smaller patterns it contains, and on the larger patterns within which it is contained
- And it is the network of these connections between patterns which creates the language
- In this network, the links between the patterns are almost as much a part of the language as the patterns themselves.
- It is, indeed the structure of the network which makes sense of individual patterns, because it anchors them, and helps make them complete.
