Rob Hopkins Pattern Language workshop recording and photos

Rob is re-inventing the Transition Handbook as a Pattern Language, and is calling for all interested transitioners to take part. We'll hear much more about this in due course, but in the meantime, here's the recording of the workshop:

2nd generation Alexander patterns

hi

Christopher Alexander has moved onto 2nd generation patterns in the Nature of Order

he talks now about generative sequences and compares 1st generation patterns as in A Pattern Language with 2nd generation patterns as in Nature of Order

1st generation = patterns

2nd generation = generative sequences

patterns can be consider menus of items or dishes at a restaurant, generative sequences can be considered recipes

generative sequences are much more complicated and are the reason why A Pattern Language basically failed as a project
