Johnny Rodgers, my friend from Tumblr (among other things), joins us to discuss Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language. We explore how Alexander's design philosophy has endured and influenced not just physical infrastructure, but also the software and algorithms that increasingly encroach on our built environment.
Show notes:
- A Pattern Language on Wikipedia
- On Surfing and Reading Books from Manso (my olde Tumblr)
- View Source, Johnny's Tumblr
- Renaissance Philanthropy's Playbooks, inspired by A Pattern Language
- Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, a seminal software engineering book heavily influenced by A Pattern Language
- Martha Stewart on Elio's
In May, we will be reading Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata and Marcel Duchamp and the Refusal of Work by Maurizio Lazzarato.
