Featured Articles and Dropdown Stacks of C3LD Curated Written and Graphic Materialé
Featured Article
Our C3LD curated Feature Article by @Clayton_dorge is posted in memory of the late architect and mathematician Christopher Alexander. His University of Berkley team published “A Pattern Language” and “The Timeless Way of Building” in the late 1970’s. The work is essential inspiration for Living Design.
Pattern Language is landmark Systems Thinking for the built environment and beyond. It is the go-to framework for computer architecture and object oriented computing. Graphic adapted from @apatterntolearn X.com
The Article Link includes a list and short-summary for each of Alexander’s 253 ground breaking patterns.
Articles Stack
The C3 Living Design Article Stack is new as of late summer 2024. We’ll start by populating the stack with selected articles, graphics and other Living Design Materialé that is not a video. After we have about 15-20 articles posted we will categorize them and start an organized stack based on the C3LD categories.
