A Pattern Language

Everything on http://www.patternlanguage.com/ is based on a theory of generative processes. The theory says that we can only hope to build a living world, by using generative or “genetic” means. This is an entirely new view of architecture. It says that the living environment can be created ONLY by the action of millions of people, all using a common genetic scheme, which generates the form and content of buildings in a fashion very similar to the way that genetic material or DNA generates the form of organisms.
