Alexander’s Pattern Language

The Timeless Way of Building (TTWoB)

• The Quality

  • To seek the timeless way we must first know the quality without a name. (a.k.a. QWAN)

• The Gate

  • To reach the quality without a name we must then build a living pattern language as a gate.

• The Way

  • Once we have built the gate, we can pass through it to the practice of the timeless way.
