The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong. Yet the power of present-day ideas is so great that many feel uncomfortable, even afraid, to say openly that they dislike what is happening, because they are afraid to seem foolish, afraid perhaps that they will be laughed at. Now, at last, here is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself.

The Timeless Way of Building 《建筑的永恒之道》,一本出版于1979年的建筑学著作,却很深刻地影响了软件工程的一些理念。我很久以前在学软件设计模式的时候就听说过,却始终没有找到这本书来看。而身边的朋友也是知道这本书的不少,却没有谁真正看过。 我去年某一天在图书馆...
