The Phenomenon of Life: The Nature of Order, Book 1: An Essay of the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe (Nature of Order, 1) ハードカバー – 2003/6/1

In Book One of this four-volume work, Alexander describes a scientific view of the world in which all space-matter has perceptible degrees of life, and establishes this understanding of living structures as an intellectual basis for a new architecture.

He identifies fifteen geometric properties which tend to accompany the presence of life in nature, and also in the buildings and cities we make. These properties are seen over and over in nature and in the cities and streets of the past, but they have almost disappeared in the impersonal developments and buildings of the last hundred years.

This book shows that living structures depend on features which make a close connection with the human self, and that only living structure has the capacity to support human well-being.

レビュー

...Alexander's approach presents a fundamental challenge to us and our style-obsessed age. It suggests that beautiful form can come about only through a process that is meaningful to people...""- Thomas Fisher, Former Editor, Progressive Architecture;

""Alexander's genetic scripts are likely to... play a role so fundamental in the future,that their widespread use cannot even be imagined today. This will change the world as effectively as the advent of printing changed the world.""- Doug Carlston, Co-founder, Broderbund Software, Founder & CEO, icPlanet.com;

""...I can think of no one, certainly no one in the last thirty or so years, who has produced a deeper, more profoundly meaningful, visionary and lasting body of work that both unifies and transcends science and spirituality, than Christopher Alexander.""- Andy Ilachinsky, Theoretical Physicist;

""Five hundred years is a long time, and I don't expect that many of the people I interview will be known in the year 2500. Alexander may be an exception.""- David Creelman, Author, Interviewer, and Editor, HR Magazine""...I believe Alexander is likely to be remembered most of all, in the end, for having produced the first credible proof of the existence of God...""- Eric Buck, Department of Philosophy, University of Kentucky

Combines life, function, sensory experience, methods in a vivid description across 4 books. I found the work to be tangibly mind altering. I believe he successfully describes everything. I feel the work is immensely important and an experience that can trigger a much deeper intuitive sense of the relationships among things. Deep in my core, I think he is close to the truth but cannot reach it or express it fully. The evidence for me is the length of the work itself. I think that a more complete truth would be more acutely expressed.

His work is about harmony and how you perceive it, describe it, and achieve it in the formulation of things in this world. This is the work's greatest strength and is highly attractive to those seeking to express and define harmony among things. I think this is also where it fails. I do not think conceptualized harmony as shown here is the full sum of the truth. As comforting an experience an ancient building is, I do not think civilization can evolve successfully under the philosophy expressed in this work. A timeless changeless form that evokes rest, peace, and an endless commune with nature may not be the proper measure of living. As attractive as those things sound.

Rather, I think his work is a great conditioning tool. A tool to broaden aesthetic capacity. A concept building tool to expand awareness of form, function, and relationships among elements. He presents a wide discussion that attempts to situate science, reason, intellect, empirical thought, creative awareness, and philosophy into proper contexts. An exercise that will prove beneficial for thinking beyond and outside of these subject domains. On these basis and a few others, it is a huge transformation.

I bought the books in 2009, it took me months to read and I have waited to write a review. I wanted to be sure of what I said about this important work. I lost my copies of the book during a move in 2013 and hope to one day gain a new set. I wanted it on the Kindle, but the books may be too large and the colorful photos may not translate properly.

He has written a candidate for the design world's theory of everything.

5つ星のうち5.0 Wonderful text suitable for 2D design as well

If I had to choose one design book as a definitive source, this would be it. This is not one of those golden rectangle/gestalt psychology design books, but a meditative, philosophical work based on thought, experience and observation. Alexander is neither a modernist nor a post-modernist. Rather, he has articulated a unique approach to design rooted in livable, human-scaled architecture and a canny take on liveliness. The concepts are extensible to other areas and this could be an excellent textbook for a 2D design class. The only disappointing thing is the quality of the book itself for the price. The paper is thin and the cover looks cheap.

I have been interested in Alexander's ideas for a long time. I finally i can read his most important work, starting by this first part.
About the book, it's packed with his ideas and plenty of pictures of examples and drawings on his own.
It's like a university text book.
