为什么值得读
- 尝试用数学与秩序桥接建筑艺术与自然法则
- 为化解现代街区单调乏味提供根本解决思路
- 详细论证如何营造具有永恒生命品质的空间
著名建筑学家 Christopher Alexander 的四卷本巨著震撼呈现；这是历经 27 年潜心研究和一生深刻独创思维的心血结晶。请思考审视我们世界的三个关键视角：科学的视角；基于美与优雅的视角；基于我们对日常生活直觉的常识视角。迄今为止，无论是科学家、神秘主义者、建筑师还是政治家，都未能找到一个能够将这三者统一起来的世界观。这部开创性的著作让我们得以描摹出一幅将所有三种视角交织融合的世界蓝图

你听说过建筑师克里斯托弗·亚历山大（Christopher Alexander）吗？他毕生的心血似乎和你描述的很接近。我强烈推荐四卷本的《秩序的本质》（The Nature of Order）。我一直觉得，艺术和音乐背后存在着一套完全基于数学的解释，甚至能成为两者的桥梁，只是大隐隐于市罢了。亚历山大是我读过的唯一一个接近……的人。
Have you heard of the architect Christopher Alexander? His life's work seems to be close to what you are describing. I'd highly recommend the 4 volume series 'The Nature of Order.' I've always felt that there is a whole other math based explanation to art and music, that may even bridge the two, hiding in plain site. Alexander is the only person I've read who has come close to…
……“其单调与令人沮丧的平庸无与伦比”，尽管在很多方面其实挺不错的。它就是太空洞了。克里斯托弗·亚历山大在提出解决方案方面做得非常出色（《模式语言》；《秩序的本质》），他的主站实际上就叫“活力街区”（Living Neighborhoods）。https://www.livingneighborhoods.org/ht-0/bln-exp.htm 至于剩下的该怎么解决，我毫无头绪。
…"unrivaled in its monotony and depressing blandness" despite being quite nice in many ways. It was just so empty. Christopher Alexander has done a fantastic job of putting forth a solution (Pattern Language; Nature of Order) and his main site is actually called "Living Neighborhoods". https://www.livingneighborhoods.org/ht-0/bln-exp.htm What to do about the rest of it I have no idea.
如果这能引起你的共鸣，去读读亚历山大的四卷巨著《秩序的本质》吧。一定要坚持读下去。涵盖的内容非常多。对他来说，目标一如既往，就是能够构建具有永恒且提升生命品质的人造环境，他在第一卷里花大力气论证了……
If this resonates at all with you, go get Alexander's four volume work 'The Nature of Order.' And stick with it. It's a lot of ground to cover. The goal, as always for him, is to be able to construct built environments with a timeless, life enhancing quality, and he spends volume one demonstrating…
……本身就自成一体，与任何现存的知识学派都没有关联。遗憾的是我自己还没读过《谈谈方法》：它排在长长的书单里，目前正被亚历山大的《秩序的本质》占着，那是部精彩但很长的大部头。我之前以为笛卡尔主张他的新方法应该作为对现有方法的补充，而不是全盘替代 —— 我这么想是错的吗？
…own right, without connection to any other existing school of knowledge. I haven't read Discourse myself yet, unfortunately: it's in a long queue of works which is currently taken up by Alexander's The Nature of Order, a wonderful but long read. I was led to believe that Descartes argued his new method should be added to existing ones rather than replace them entirely – am I wrong in thinking this way?
克里斯托弗·亚历山大的所有作品（先从《建筑的永恒之道》开始……探索《模式语言》……再进阶到《秩序的本质》……然后是其他书）。波西格的《禅》和《莱拉》。多伊奇的《无穷的开始》。
All the things by Christopher Alexander(Start with timeless way...explore the pattern language...move on to Nature of order...then others.) Zen and Lila by Pirsig Beginning of Infinity by Deutsch.
你读过克里斯托弗·亚历山大的《秩序的本质》吗？我非常想听听你对这套书的见解和评价。也很想看看他是否会出现在你的下一批崇拜者名单里。他绝对在我的名单上。
Have you read The Nature of Order by Christopher Alexander? I'd very much like to hear your opinions and comments on the book series. And also see, whether he would appear on your next list of heroes. He is definitely on mine.
