A building or a town will only be alive to the extent that it is governed in a timeless way. It is a process which brings order out of nothing but ourselves; it cannot be attained, but it will happen of its own accord, if we will only let it.

  • -- Christopher Alexander 克里斯托弗·亚历山大

一座建筑或一座城镇只有在以一种永恒的方式管理时才会存在。这是一个从我们自己身上产生秩序的过程;这是不可能实现的,但它会自动发生,如果我们只让它。
