Week 03: Pattern Language

Urban design and community liveability, architecture made by people through patterns envisaged by the people. Patterns are not fixed or finite but “are all tentative, all free to evolve under the impact of new experience and observation” (Alexander, 1977).  Relevance to the task.......Architecture Fiction: Context is forever changing but can still be relevant if the universal principal directs the design pattern which relates to the context. Helps to relate to the fictional story.
